A pathway to civic engagement through media literacy – Trainer’s Guide
The Trainer’s Guide to Developing Media Literacy Skills is intended to be a practical guide for everyone who would like to apply a model of inclusive media literacy development, whether in a school, as part of the class teacher’s work programme, or a civil society organization.
The goal is through this Guide to provide guidelines for the implementation of a media literacy model, in order for trainers to be able to work independently within the educational process, or in processes resulting in cooperation with civil society organizations.
The teaching units are organized into separate modules. For each of them, there are guidelines for the implementation of the educational activities, which include time for implementation, topics of discussion, tips for discussion, and instructions for the exercises.
The Guide was developed by the Institute of Communication Studies (ICS) in Skopje, Macedonia. The material is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Licence.
