“(De)constructing the media” – Evens Foundation

The project aimed to develop media and digital literacy among secondary school students by building skills in analysing, decoding and creating media content.

The project “(De)constructing the media” aimed to strengthen secondary school students’ skills in critically analysing, understanding and creating media content.

The project organised workshops for students and teachers from secondary schools working in journalism, writing and digital technologies. Participants learned more about the importance of media and digital literacy and about the influence of the media on attitudes, behaviour and public communication.

Through practical work, students gained knowledge and skills in producing media content, as well as in using the media responsibly and critically. The project encouraged young people to better recognise media messages, understand their meanings and create content independently.

The project also included online resources for schools, students, teachers and parents. The resources contained practical and ethical guidelines on various topics related to media and digital literacy and were available on the Medium platform.

The project contributed to developing media literacy in secondary education and to greater involvement of young people in the critical, creative and responsible use of media.
