Series 2008:  Rules (.PDF)

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

Each year a new theme is decided:
The 2008 theme "Challenges?" will introduce children facing a major challenge.
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 15 years ago, the exchange series is based on the principle "Make one, take all", that is, each broadcaster produces one episode and receives the others for free. The only other cost is a contribution to a central budget covering the executive producer and EBU coordination costs.
