[ecrea] CFP: Media Education Futures

CFP: Media Education Futures, 8-9 May, 2014



The International Conference on Media Education Futures examines media 
literacies and education from various perspectives. The conference 
highlights participation, well-being and citizenships as the current 
Nordic perspectives in media education and discusses media and 
information literacies contributing to inter-cultural dialogue on the 
globe. The goal is to display and promote research in the field along 
with the practices of media education. The conference program on the 8th 
to 9th May 2014 will consist of keynote lectures, presentations, and 
panel discussions. Submissions are invited from academics working at the 
nexus of the media education and media literacy with particular 
questions on:


What are the future media literacies?

What methods will be used to research and evaluate future media literacies?
How media education policies and research are in dialogue globally?
How the media environment is changing among generations?
What are the 21st Century media skills for students and teachers?



All original, unpublished papers presented at the conference will be 
eligible to be considered for the 2015 Yearbook of The International 
Clearinghouse on Children, Youth and Media by NORDICOM via a 
double-blind review process.



For the actors of the practical field, an exhibition space for 
materials, posters and publications will be provided at the conference 
venue. More information: (kaisa.e.toivonen /at/ uta.fi)
