EAVI’s project “European Media Literacy
and Education Study”, EMEDUS, has secured funding under the European
Commission’s Lifelong Learning Programme.
The ultimate objective of the study is
to contribute to the development of national educational policies aimed
at promoting lifelong learning media education. It will offer a
comparative analysis of the inclusion of media education in national
curricula across EU27; identification of suitable instruments to measure
media education skills and levels in schools; an analysis of media
education teachers’ resources, skills and competences; an insight into
informal learning and the media resources available on media education,
with special attention to minorities; policy recommendations to sustain
educational policies at national and European levels; and a
European-wide platform for effective cooperation in lifelong media
education learning.
Partners include: Universidad Autónoma
de Barcelona, Spain; Minho University, Portugal; Institute for
Educational Research and Development, Hungary; Instituto di Studi
Politici, Economici e Sociali, Italy; School of Communication and Media,
Slovakia; Pedagogical University of Krakow, Poland.
The Media Literacy Programme
Tue, 06/12/2011
The DCMF will launch its Media Literacy Programme at the UNAOC.
You watch, hear and read it every
day: media. It is everywhere, all the time. But how is it made and why
is it important to understand?The Doha Centre for Media Freedom (DCMF) is helping to explain news and press freedom to the next generation through its new Media Literacy Programme.
To launch the Media Literacy Programme, a DCMF team has trained a group of nine junior reporters, aged 15 to 18, to cover the fourth UN Alliance of Civilizations conference. They will use video and conduct interviews, gather news and update audiences on developments at the international event.
Their daily Civilizations Summit Update will be screened at the conference and their work is also available at youtube.com/dcmfreporter.
Be prepared for our Junior Reporters. They might be young, but they will be posing some challenging questions on what is being done to facilitate cultural understanding and improve relationships across all sectors of society.
Looking ahead to 2012, 15 schools in Qatar will join the DCMF’s ‘School News’ programme as part of the initiative, which aims to enlighten young people about how the media arrives to them. It’s especially designed for girls and boys between the age of eight and 12.
By 2013, the programme will be fully developed to enroll more schools in Qatar.
Using audiovisual and interactive techniques, the Media Literacy team is sure that children will understand the impact of news during its two-day workshops. The DCMF also aims to hold the workshops elsewhere in the region in the long term.

Call for piloting media literacy programme for adult learners
The TMA Consortium,
coordinated by Telecentre-Europe, consisting of eight European partners
is inviting organisations outside the Consortium and potentially from
other countries to join an Open Pilot experience. It is an open and free
possibility for adult education providers or other organisations
dealing with media literacy programmes to take part in a pilot exercise.
The TMA Consortium is implementing the project entitled “Telecentre Media Academy”
with the support of the European Commission’s Lifelong Learning
Programme. The TMA project is aimed at providing a learning pathway on
media literacy specifically tailored for adult learners. The programme
will equip learners with skills related to understanding, use and
production of media based on ICTs, including audio-visual and
photography.
Organisations joining the pilot will receive
full access to the key outputs of the project including the learning
resources. Before piloting, for all teachers/trainers from piloting
organisations a workshop will be organised to introduce them with the
learning pathway. Pilot organisations will also receive methodological
support from the Consortium and will be invited to present their pilot
experience at the TMA final conference (Media Literacy for All) taking place in September 2014 in Croatia.
A Handbook of Piloting Procedures is
available to provide practical guidance to the piloting exercise that
can be used by staff and organisations involved in the open pilot and
their local partners. The Handbook introduces the pilot in the context
of the project and includes documents for informed consent, recruiting
process, evaluation tools.
If your organisation is interested in joining the Open Pilot experience, please contact Ivan Stojilovic (istojilovic@ian.org.rs) project officer at IAN or Peter Pavlolgyi (peter.palvolgyi@telecentre-europe.org)
responsible for exploitation activities at Telecentre-Europe. For more
information about the TMA project, the implementing partners please
visit our website (http://tma.telecentre-europe.org).
The forum reached the goal of contributing to the establishment of a reinforced European media literacy policy
oriented towards the inclusion of Media Education in European school curricula. In addition, it also aimed at promoting the development of media literacy initiatives in the field of non- formal and informal education as well
as paying special attention to disadvantaged groups.
The event did encourage the creation of diverse collaborative platforms such as the European Chapter of the Global Alliance for Partners on Media and Information Literacy (GAPMIL), the European Media and Film Literacy Observatory, and other initiatives.
Media & Information Literacy Clearinghouse
Empowerment of people through information and media literacy is an
important prerequisite for fostering equitable access to information and
knowledge, and building inclusive knowledge societies.
Media Literacy is a 21st century approach to education. It provides a framework to access, analyze, evaluate, create and participate with messages in a variety of forms — from print to video to the Internet. Media literacy builds an understanding of the role of media in society as well as essential skills of inquiry and self-expression necessary for citizens of a democracy.
Media and Information Literacy (MIL) is a recently-developed pedagogical approach that takes into consideration the new cultures emerging from the Information Society. Read more about MIL.
This clearinghouse on MIL encourages the user’s active participation. Read more about how to contribute.

CREATIVE EUROPENew possibilities for film and media literacy
On Friday Nov 16th 2012 the European Commission held a film and media literacy conference in order to discuss funding opportunities available within the framework of the Creative Europe Programme. The aim of the conference was to prepare and promote the planned action lines for film literacy and media literacy.
The Creative Europe Programme will, for the first time in EU funding policy, include two explicit funding possibilities for film literacy and media literacy:
- Media literacy in the cross-sectorial strand
- Film literacy in the MEDIA strand
The European Commission believes that media and film literacy is an important building block of EU policy on cultural diversity and on strengthening the European identity of children and young people. Film literacy is also important in building future audiences for European cinema.
The Commission wants to reinforce the multitude of existing good practices by encouraging cross-border cooperation and by supporting networks to help these initiatives to circulate. The conference will help us to design the parameters of a future funding scheme for media and film literacy and ensure that we respond to the needs of potential beneficiaries.
