ELTA Serbia is thrilled to announce a new project focused on enhancing media literacy among students aged 15-19 in Serbia. This initiative will delve into the critical aspects of media literacy through the innovative frameworks of posthumanism and hauntology. Over the course of a year, we will create a comprehensive curriculum, train educators, and engage students in highly interactive workshops to ensure active participation and practical learning.
📚 Project Overview:
The project will involve 11 schools, each selecting two students and one teacher. Participants will gain valuable insights from Dr. Bretton Varga, who will share expertise on integrating posthumanism and hauntology into media literacy education. The project includes:
📅 Project Phases:
November/December 2024
In-Person Training: A two-day in-person training session (November 29-30, 2024) to equip teachers with a solid understanding of media literacy within the frameworks of posthumanism and hauntology.
