November 3rd to 11th: UN Agenda 2030 about Sustainable Development Goals, Discovery Manhattan 2018 or How to Shape Future TOGETHER using Media, Film and Social Networks! Campaign for Global Citizens Education! This is Media Education Centre’s Concept of the “Traveling, Source for the Cultural Discovery”.
After many years of cooperation of the Media Education Centre with UN Alliance of Civilizations and their great UN PLURAL + Film Festival we are going to New York to participate in the PLURAL + 2018 Award Ceremony, to give our three Awards and to implement MIL Workshop. Media and Information Literacy is the main activity of the Media Education Centre and is a recently-developed pedagogical approach that takes into consideration the new cultures emerging from the Information Society. Some prefer the terms Media Literacy, Media Education, News Literacy, Digital Literacy, Information Literacy, etc. Media Studies and Media Ecology researchers worldwide are also contributing to the development of these new educational initiatives.
The approach to media literacy education taken here is inclusive and open. The UNAOC welcomes contributions from organizations, university departments, associations, groups and individuals who are developing new pedagogical tools, strategies, and theories that take into consideration the challenges of the information society.
It is our Video Program for Discovery Manhattan 2018
