About the project

Media are powerful forces in the lives of our students. Music, TV, video games, magazines and other media all have a strong influence on how they see the world. During this project we would like to encourage our students to question, evaluate, understand and appreciate their multimedia culture. We will teach them to become active, engaged media consumers and users. Our strongest aim is to promote critical thinking while using the media and to become a media-smart citizen.
