The workshop „Digital media literacy“ encourages people in didactic functions to teach digital media in a holistic way. The used software will be exclusively free ware and open source applications which are legally accessible and will be provided.

Media literacy enables people to analyse, evaluate contents and create messages in media. It focusses on detecting e.g. propaganda, censorship or manipulative contents but doesn’t include a technological practical education. On the contrary, this digital-media-literacy workshop focusses on internet and comprises not only the teaching of the critical approach to contents but also the basic technological teaching of skills like digital photography or publishing contents online. To foster the critical approach it also includes the ethical and legal aspects in the context of creating websites or participating in social networks.
