On October 16, the Global Media and Talent Manifesto will host a global student-led broadcast project. Dubbed “On Air”, the project, spanning 26 hours and produced by teams from Auckland to Los Angeles, aims to be the world’s largest student broadcast, delivering a continuous stream of original and pre-recorded content managed entirely by university and college students.

Each participating institution will contribute live programming, showcasing the emerging talent across the media production ecosystem.

Participating institutions include: Auckland University of Technology, Baltic Film and Media School, Hochschule der Medien Stuttgart, Hong Kong Design Institute, Lycée René Cassin – Biarritz, Media Cluster Norway, University of Sao Paulo in partnership with Faculdade Casper Libero, University of Surrey, University of Texas, and York University. Ravensbourne University London will be the central hub for master control room, playout control and operations.
