9. Target group :
Lower secondary teachers of all subjects (10-15)
Participants must be prepared to actively participate in all phases of the work :
· preparatory tasks before the seminar;
· active participation throughout the seminar;
· reporting, follow-up and dissemination after the seminar.
Participants must be able to sustain professional communication in the working language of the seminar, being English.
10. Focus of the training activity :
The new media environment (web 2.0) marks a fundamental change in children’s and teenager’s every-day-lives. Young people use tools such as social networks, blogs, mobile phones, search machines, converging media (video, images,text), etc without necessarily drawing on their full potential and without full awareness of the implications for human rights and dignity. At the same time schooling and education lag seriously behind and do not manage to integrate these practices in their educational practice with an educational goal.
The training will focus on the potential impact on and use of the new media environment with regard to personal development, social interaction and democratic participation as well as learning and education with the aim to educate responsible users and producers of content.
It will explore ways of integrating these practices in the everyday life at school to develop media literacy based on human rights. A media literate citizen uses the media environment fully, critically, profitably and responsibly.
11. Expected results:
After the seminar, the participants will:
- have a better idea about the use of WEB 2.0 tools by young people across Europe
- be aware of the relationship between new media and human rights
- be better prepared to integrate the practices of young people in their educational practice
- have benefitted from good practices and from the discussions during the seminar
- be in a position to continue networking with like-minded education professionals across Europe
