In December 2011 a two-day pilot workshop on Media Literacy was organized by the Mediainstitute Fojo (city of Kalmar, Sweden) in cooperation with the Swedish centre in Minsk. The seminar was coordinated and hosted by Ms. Carmilla Floyd and Marita Lindqvist, both journalists and writers.
The main goal of the past pilot workshop was to make the participants contemplate over the notion “Media Literacy” itself, analyze different media, their influence on our modern society, including children and youth.
The participants got an opportunity to produce their own Fanzine, which is available online http://issuu.com/medialiteracy/docs/mediamadnessmagazine.
A follow-up workshop is planned for April 2012. A series of seminars on Media Literacy is addressed to young people, university students, aged 18 – 21, is to be organized through 2012 – 2013 by the Medieinstitute Fojo.
If you would like to take part in the seminar, please, submit your inquiry by email to Maryna Kasperovich kaspermaryna@gmail.com. Indicate your first and last name, datesof birth, contact telephone number, e-mail and name of the university.
