PART 1 – 14.00-15.30

• How to Read World with Images – Visual Literacy in the New Media Age.
  Venue: National Theatre
  The seminar will address the questions of how artistic strategies can be appropriated by non-artists and used for the benefit of empowerment through visual culture, what can we learn from image-critique as offered by contemporary artistic and critics’ practices and what diversity in the visual field mean. We will also raise the questions of how post-truth works in the visual field and how to respond when one is being manipulated and “caught by images”. During the seminar we will present the newest Media Literacy in Europe magazine issued by Evens Foundation.

• Media Information/Disinformation & Popular Culture: youtubers, influencers and vloggers and their impact on media (education) world
  Venue: Networks
  The focus of this session would be the uprise of the videoplatform YouTube including the rise of new creators (youtubers, influencers and vloggers), as well as the role of other online platforms in distributing media content, and their impact on education, learning and the media industry. This major shift in the media (and educational) landscape occurred in a decade and video is becoming more and more dominant. This phenomenon triggered the Institute for Sound and Vision (via their media museum), to develop a unique partnership with YouTube / Google plus with the new so-called multi-channel networks (agencies for youtubers). The session will show how to built bridges between this new world of makers and the traditional media world as well as with education.

• 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.

One of its objectives is to strengthen people’s MIL competencies and support for quality information and media. The session will present and explore the strategies this project is using in developing MIL: multi-stakeholder discussions and public debates on MIL; cooperation of civil society and media with governments to develop MIL-related policy and strategy; joint training of journalists, civil society leaders and teachers; stimulating peoples’ participation in shaping of information and media landscape in SEE through Coalition of Information and Media Users; dissemination of knowledge through an awareness raising campaign and innovative training through the UNESCO MIL CLICKS social media initiative.

• Building Trust in Journalism: How Ethical Media Can be an Inspiration for Responsible Communications
  Venue: National Theatre
  In an age when propaganda, fake news and hate-speech puts intense pressure on newsrooms, this session will explain why ethical standards in journalism are essential for better public communications. But how do we ensure media people – both in the newsroom and the boardroom – are good role models? This frank and open discussion will discuss the media crisis from the inside and focus on how to strengthen good governance and moral standards in media as a way of shaping a new movement for civil discourse in public life.

• Factchecking, IT Tech and Civic Engagement Against Disinformation
  Venue: Networks
  Fake news, propaganda, disinformation seem to be the words of the year and it seems how the whole post-truth world came about in the blink of an eye. However, civic activists all around the region have been tackling the issue of accountability in the public discourse at least for years now. This has been done with different success and public recognition. So, this session will try to give basic insights into whats and hows of civic engagement on fact-checking practices in the region and the world, as well as how civil society in general is using technology to create a more informed public discourse and make different stakeholders adhere to basic principles of accountability and checks and balances.
