| HISTORY In 1985, Jean-philippe Rapp, then co-director of television program Temps présent at the Télévision Suisse Romande (TSR), but who also taught at the Institute for Development Studies (IUED), joined forces with Jaques Forster, Director of the IUED and Philippe Grandjean, journalist. Together, they launched the first “North South Media Encounters”. The ambition: to contribute to more egalitarian information flows between developed and developing countries. During it’s 26 years of existence, the “Encounters”, which became “Festival” and then “Forum”, pursued this practice. Today the Forum attempts to decipher the great challenges of our time («The end of Petrol» 2004, «The impact of China» 2005, «Climate Change» 2006). As of 2007, a new proposition: each theme is addressed over two years, first in Geneva, 12 months later in another region. The editions “India: Future World Power” (Geneva 2007) and the «The Jaipur Forum» (Jaipur 2008) attest to this new format. For our 2009-2010 editions the theme is World Hunger (Geneva, 2009, Ouagadougou, 2010) |
