How can research contribute to the common good and help create a better media environment for Filipino children?
The 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐍𝐂𝐂𝐓), in partnership with the Philippine Association of Communication Educators (PACE), invites researchers, educators, students, media practitioners, professionals, and other qualified contributors to submit completed research for the 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗺 𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 with the theme:

The Forum seeks to bring research into dialogue with policy and practice.
