The HFPA And World Bank Announce Global Forum Panelists on Edutainment

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) and the Narrating Behavior Change Program of the World Bank announced the panelists participating in the first in a series of Global Forums focused on the growth of edutainment programming around the world and the use of entertainment media with educational objectives. Educational entertainment programming was first coined by Walt Disney in 1954, but its roots go all the way back in history with writers using literary devices to convey meaning and to educate on important issues of the day.
