“Children’s Media Lab” talk event is about to begin. Under the theme of “Comprehensively examining the relationship between children and media to create
new value,” the “Children’s Media Lab” invites guests involved in the production of
children’s content—including books, animation, art, and exhibitions—to share their insights.

Today’s guest is Mitsuko Okamoto, a TV program producer and professor at Tokyo University of the Arts.
Ms. Okamoto currently serves as the program producer for “0655・2355,” which is airing on NHK Educational TV, and as the video supervisor for
“Techne: The Video Classroom.”Under the theme of “Children and Television,
” I hope to explore with you what kinds of children’s video content have been produced to date and how
video technology empowers children.
