PART 1 – 14.00-15.30

• Civic and Media Education in the Digital Age. Pedagogical practices to combat discrimination and promote democratic participation
  Venue: Networks
  In the last 15 years European countries witnessed a growing number of hate crimes towards immigrants and minorities. Discriminatory discourses are also echoed online, since racist organizations use the Internet to spread othering rhetoric. Concerns emerged about the impact of hate messages on youth and the role of media in reinforcing stereotyped representations of the ‘others’. Media education can be a pedagogical strategy to develop youth’s awareness of (anti-)discrimination and support their participation as democratic citizens.

• Do-it-yourself training in Mobile Journalism (MoJo)
  Venue: Networks
  This interactive workshop is based on the outputs of the European Y-nex project which is all about helping young people find a voice through mobile journalism or MoJo. During the workshop we will explain the different types of training approaches you can take and suggest ways in which you might design your own MoJo courses. We will demonstrate the different materials and resources built up for you and others to use in your training and take you through a typical practical assignment that you might like to include. By the end of our workshop we hope you will be in a good position to initiate your own MoJo courses.

  What are the ways to increase media and information literacy (MIL) among citizens? The EU-UNESCO project “Building Trust in Media in South East Europe and Turkey” has a focus on this issue, strengthening MIL competencies (knowledge, skills, and attitudes) and enabling partners to increase public demand and support for quality information and media. The session will present and explore the strategies this project is using to improve people’s trust in media and their critical engagement with media and information through MIL. Strategic approaches include: Multi-stakeholder discussions and public debates on MIL; cooperation of partners with governments in the development of MIL-related policy and strategy; increase of peoples’ participation in shaping of information and media landscape in SEE through Coalition of Information and Media Users in South East Europe (CIMU SEE); dissemination of knowledge through creative online training, particularly the social media innovation MIL CLICKS.
