New media literacy pupil learning activities and materials are being released today. This is the first phase of an exciting new project supported by the US Embassy in London.
ACT has been funded to develop a series of media literacy education interventions designed to counter misinformation and build young people's capacity to critically engage with news and information.
ACT is delighted to be working with 24 organisations as part of the educateGE project to provide support to schools in teaching about the Election, voting and democracy.
Four new lessons have been developed by ACT teachers on the election, voting, manifestos and running a parallel election in schools.
We are delighted that the U.S. Embassy London has announced a 10-day exchange programme to the United States for members of ACT. Successful applicants will visit cities in the United States and explore media literacy teaching approaches with their counterparts. Participants will also have the chance to meet with American journalists, NGOs and others working in this area.
