This will act as a warm-up exercise for the group, whether they know each other, or not. Provide a short introduction around the idea that each media production is a mystery story, a coded message. Once we ‘break the code’, the mystery is solved, we can begin a fuller interpretation of the production. This is a semiotic approach. 

Put Movie/ TV/ Literature/ News/ Print/ Technology questions to the group as a whole. This is a good activity to introduce the concept of Media Literacy

The aim of this activity is to think about how stories are being told and how stereotypes and attached prejudices are shaped by media and how these impact in our understanding of society.

Sociological analysis of the media allow us to examine how groups and institutions use media as a tool to organise social life.

Eine Handreichung für die Vorbereitung von mehrsprachigen Sendungen, die auch für die Vorbereitung von mehrsprachigen Workshops hilfreich sein kann.

This is a helping hand for preparing multilingual programming. It is helpful as well when preparing for muiltilingual workshops.

Media literacy is a repertoire of competences that enable people to analyze, evaluate, and create messages in a wide variety of media modes, genres, and forms. Media literacy education is actively focused on the instructional methods and pedagogy of media literacy, integrating theoretical and critical frameworks rising from constructivist learning theory, media studies and cultural studies scholarship. This work has arisen from a legacy of media and technology use in education throughout the 20th century and the emergence of cross-disciplinary work at the intersections of scholarly work in media studies and education.
