Children's Documentary Series 2011: Rules (.pdf)

The EBU Youth Documentary Exchange assists in the production of high-quality, original, true-life documentaries for an audience of 10-to-12 year olds.

A theme is chosen each year. The theme of Challenges shows children facing their fears.

The main character is an active participant in the unfolding drama of his life, and the story is told in the child's own words. These are stories of universal appeal through which the viewer will also catch a glimpse of the diverse national cultures of Europe and the Middle East.

Created over 20 years ago, the exchange series is based on the principle of ‘make one, take all’, i.e. each broadcaster produces one episode and receives the others for free. The only other cost is a contribution to a central budget covering the costs of the executive producer and EBU coordination.

Programmes in distribution: series 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 currently available.
