ABU Children’s Drama Co-Production
About the ABU Children’s Drama Co-production Series:
“Create one, Take all!” is the principle of this co-production. Participating ABU members are entitled to receive drama episodes produced by other ABU members of the same co-production year or series for broadcast.ABU Children’s TV Drama Co-production is conducted under the principle of ‘Make one episode and take all others’. All episodes with minimum dialogue are easily understood by all the children from different cultural background.It started as an ambitious project that grew out of the annual ABU Children’s TV Programme Item Exchange Meeting, about a decade ago where six pioneering members formed the pilot group creating their own brand of wholesome and culturally-rich content for theirs and other children in the Asia-Pacific region! Each member produce, at their own cost, a 15 minute drama episode targeted at 7 – 9 year olds based on the common theme, Mental Growth of Children in Different Situations. Some episodes are exchanged between the ABU and the EBU.The project has a strong training element as the Executive Producer is always on hand to provide regular online feedback from story development to final script. EP will also make an on-site visit to provide one-on-one training to the producer.
