2020 has been a difficult year, due to the appearance and pandemic spread of a novel coronavirus. Even though the turmoil caused by this coronavirus is still unresolved, Panasonic's Kid Witness News (KWN) decided to go ahead with its global event. This year was the first online event in KWN history as we welcomed the winning schools from each country.

The Kid Witness News (KWN) Global Summit 2020 was held November 21 - 22, 2020. Due to the spread of COVID-19, it was the first Summit held online. A total of 26 kids from 6 schools in 4 countries, as well as teachers and other participants joined this year's Summit. Here is a summary of the works and interaction of the kids, selected from 1900 students from 129 schools.

Factors behind primary school dropouts in Malaysia are child marriage, poverty, lack of interest in studies, health problems, disability and social problems. An example, buying a pair of new shoes or socks is not a problem for children living in the city but it may be a problem for village children. Most of the students in these areas are willing to work after school/weekends for money. Sometimes sacrificing a higher education. One of the important ways to stop poverty.

Junior High Geestemünde

We are very proud to finish our first media project in school with the honor to show our result in a museum. When the exhibition was opened for kids, we also became good instructors not only for the young visitors but for all. “It is cool to focus on something, go all over the museum to find the right answers and be inspired by the huge amount of things from history. This work was worth it and it was so much fun to transform history into a story step by step”. Enjoy!

We need to show love to all life. We want to say that not everyone in this world can live with elephants like Thai but, we want to show how people live with elephants; taking care of elephants culture and wisdom. In this project, we look closely into people and elephants helping us understand how people put effort to take care of all life in the world. This project make us know, “If we live in this world with love we can live happily”.
