digital media making with socially excluded children

Policy Recommendations

Media education experts and others concerned with media literacy should be enabled to form a European network to support the creative promotion of media literacy. This should consider:

• Ways of developing teachers’ awareness of different cultural forms and genres
• Teacher training in the structuring and organisation of the uses of technology
• Access to technology as part of structured media literacy programmes
• Specialist media work to promote social inclusion that has as its starting point the motivations of children and their diverse media experiences and uses rather than the demands of technology
• The promotion of creative uses of technology within schools and educational institutions
• The possibility for schools and other educational institutions to promote the creative use of the internet for visual exchanges that can offer new dimensions to intercultural and cross European as well as international dialogues.
