Media education in secondary schools

Young people today live in a thoroughly digitized world that is developing with unbroken dynamism. It opens up many opportunities and possibilities for young people, but also poses some risks and challenges.

In the classroom, teachers are faced with the daily task of supporting young people in acquiring skills that encompass all areas of media literacy. These range from knowledge about copyright, self-data protection or cyberbullying to digital well-being.

To adapt to the individual needs of students, educators should have a variety of well-prepared teaching materials at hand. This way, lessons can be practical, varied, and engaging.
