Join the Movement! 

In November 2024, for the fifth consecutive year, the “#SayHi – A Eurovision Kids Friendship Campaign” will once again bring children from all over Europe together to celebrate inclusion and friendship. Facilitated by their respective public broadcasters, children will participate in a dance that symbolizes these core values.

NRK has produced the 2024 common song "FERDIG SNAKKA" (“Case Closed”), which will be adapted, translated, and produced in the native languages of all participating broadcasters. The song's message reinforces the idea that everyone is welcome, good enough, and encouraged to be themselves ("End of Discussion"). The song aims to empower kids, boosting their inner “coolness,” and helping them feel confident about who they are.

Campaign Details:

  • From September 2024, a variety of content items and experiences will explore the campaign's themes and messages.
  • In November 2024, the international version of the song will be released.
  • From Monday 18 November to Friday 22 November, broadcasters will provide their own coverage and conduct related activities throughout a dedicated #SayHi week, including potential live broadcasts or offline events.
