Empower Children and Communities (EC2): Through media, content marketing, and education
“When you start to see effects you begin to work together - it is clear that all social integration of IT must have as part of its core, child and youth focused
measures and considerations.”
Bruno SCHRODER, Technical Director at Microsoft
Letter from Our Signatories
Today, the transformative approach in technology, creativity, and education allows us to walk away from what’s been done and pursue lofty ambitions – and there is no loftier
ambition than creating societal cues, social norms, and cultural pursuits that foster talent, health, and safety among young people and ourselves.
In a time where 39% of companies use social media as their primary tool to reach consumers, 73% of fortune 500 companies use twitter, and global communications firms expect more than half of their earning to come from digital revenue – we are encouraged by the number of organizations who are driven to use this powerful reach as a means to
seize business, economic, and social opportunities.
Current research provides us with several examination points such as: 1) many more 12-15 year olds use smart phones than adults, 2) advertisers and internet providers are
complying with regulatory codes and good practice but young people “find a way” despite these efforts, and because 3) the rules of the virtual and real world often become blurred, we have seen behaviors along a continuum from sexualization to sexual exploitation and
bullying to premature death. We must engage beyond causation and correlation and freedom of speech vs. privacy.
Understanding success over the toughest challenges is built from more than one vision and requires an active conversation that includes many visions. We are honored to be a part of
a win-win dialogue with leaders who don’t typically enter into our normal work routine.
Together, during and after the Forum, we will initiate our lofty ambition to harness the power of communication through the use of media, content marketing, and education to
create an empowered and robust environment where children and communities can thrive.

Exchange 2013: Empower Children and Communities (EC2) ForumThe theme of the EC2 Forum: “Strategic cooperation: trendsetters and technology” – reflects our belief that the impactful nature of media, content marketing, and education can empower the societal cues, social norms, and cultural practices that influence the fulfillment of today’s pressing issues.
Believing that many of today’s business and economic opportunities are tied to the talent and well-being of the next generation, EC2 Forum gathers key influencers from the world of fashion, sports, politics, technology, and communications to make shifts. Shifts that need to happen before we can fully nurture talent; invigorate opportunties for young people to aspire to; and keep them safe in a fast paced digitized world – shifts that give staying power to the economic and business efforts of today.
The Exchange 2013: Learning from LeadersPresided over by Chairwoman Her Royal Highness The Princess of Hanover, Master of Ceremony Philip THOMAS, CEO of Lions Festivals, and host Ángel GURRÌA, Secretary General of OECD, EC2 Forum gathers a small select group of influential voices who have the merit, experience, and commitment to information share, engage in open dialogue, and focus the best way forward.
The Exchange 2013 is made up of three separate but complimentary components: 1) forums, 2) grassroots partnerships, and 3) corporate good practice notes (to be submitted to the UN Global Compact for endorsement by the UN High Commission on Human Rights).
