During the workshop, the participants learnt how to prepare programmes from the concept stage to execution targeted towards online distribution. They worked the specifications on delivering through an online medium, and how to adapt for a more selective audience, and develop an actual programme concept for further execution. It was conducted by Mr Kalle Furst of NRK, Norway.

The participants were involved in several brainstorming exercises to generate ideas for programmes that can be adapted online. They also split into two groups to present their proposed concepts.
