Every year on December 11, International Children's Television and Radio Day is celebrated worldwide. The foundation of this tradition was laid in the late 20th century. Specifically, International Children's Television and Radio Day was established in April 1994 in the city of Cannes, through the initiative of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). Since then, every year on this date, leading television and radio broadcasters around the world dedicate airtime to children and children's programs. Television and radio feature broadcasts specifically designed for children. Additionally, children are invited to participate in television and radio programs, where they discuss topics they consider important, expressing their talents and thoughts through informative and entertaining programs.
The primary students of the European Azerbaijan School commemorated this significant date for children. Utilizing modern technological advancements, especially through social media, which provides the opportunity to connect with thousands of viewers, the students shared their ideas and thoughts with the audience. On this notable day, they gained new insights into the concepts of media and broadcasting.
