Inclusive and creative media education

The project focuses on developing inclusive and creative media literacy models applicable in formal and non-formal education in North Macedonia, Finland and Italy.

“Inclusive and creative media education” is a European project aimed at improving media literacy education by developing practical educational models that can be used by schools, faculties, civil society organisations and other actors in formal and non-formal education.

The project develops three media literacy models, prepared by partner organisations from North Macedonia, Finland and Italy. Each model is tested in a local context and then adapted for use in the partner countries.

The models focus on teaching principles for designing inclusive media literacy initiatives, educational strategies that foster creativity through critical media literacy, and encouraging young people’s civic engagement through media literacy.

Within the project, ICS is developing and testing the model for encouraging civic engagement among young people through media literacy. The aim is to use media literacy as a tool for critical thinking, active participation, cultural diversity and more responsible media use.

The project contributes to lasting educational resources that can help teachers, young people, educational institutions and civil society organisations develop more inclusive, creative and applicable approaches to media education.
