| SUMMARY: |
In the 21st century, media literacy and intercultural competence are two key competences
necessary for a successful adult life. Media is everywhere we turn, on TV, radio, Internet,
our smartphones and tablets. It is present even in children’s life from a very early age.
Thus, media literacy is important in order to be able to read media messages successfully,
to avoid being manipulated by media messages. Nowadays, multicultural society is a
reality due to historical events or to emigration. A multicultural society leads to the
coexistence of different traditions, mentalities, habits, which highlight the importance of
developing intercultural competences for peaceful collaboration between people of
different cultural and religious backgrounds.
The aim of this book is to introduce teachers into Media and Intercultural Education,
giving them a theoretical background and practical methodology.
The target groups of this book are represented by the pre-service and in-service teachers
and teacher trainers. Teachers can use this book to enrich their knowledge of Media
Education and Intercultural Education, to get some ideas on how to integrate these in their
teaching practice. Teacher trainers can use the book as a support for their training courses
in Media Education and/or in Intercultural Education. |
