NettiOpsun kautta.

This course is a hands-on introduction to the practices of media education for social change. Having the fields of development communication (DevCom) and communication for social change (CFSC) as a backdrop, the students will be introduced to the history, the theory and the practices of media-educational interventions for social change around the world. In addition, the students will work in groups to plan media education projects for social change. This practical exercise is meant to provide the students with the simulated experience of planning pedagogical-interventional strategies and also to be critical about the challenges that arise in the implementation of this kind of project.

This course consists of (1) weekly mandatory readings, (2) discussions in class and (3) group work. In order to pass the course, the students are expected to be active in the three kinds of activities. Moodle will be used to circulate the texts and as platform for group discussions.
There is room for max 15 students in the course.
