The Summer School will be structured around the four following themes:

  * Theme #1: Research questions and theoretical frameworks: "Media
    Education and Media Literacy: how can we ask relevant research
    questions today?"
  * Theme #2: Methods of Media Literacy Research: "Observing media uses,
    defining media competences: converging or conflicting approaches?"
  * Theme #3: Methods of Media Education Research: "Evaluating media
    education programs and practices: methods and challenges"
  * Theme #4: Research Valorisation: "Designing media Education and
    Media Literacy reserach with high societal impact"

A half workday will be dedicated to each of these themes, starting with
two plenary talks by invited experts, and followed by a workshop focused
on the research work of the participating PhD students, exploring them
from the perspectives developed in the plenary talks.

The Summer School will also allow for numerous informal interactions
between experts, researchers and PhD students.

The goal of this summer school is to allow PhD students engaged in a
doctoral research in the field of media literacy or media education:

  * to benefit from the expertise of reknowned researchers in their
    field, though theoretical and methodological presentations;
  * to present their own research to an audience composed of these
    experts, as well as other PhD students and researchers;
  * to work collectively to the enhancement of their research work with
    other participants;
  * to improve their knowledge of the research undertaken by their
    peers.L’école d’été aura pour langues de travail le français et
    l’anglais.

As the Summer School will be held both in French and in English,
proficiency in French is required for participation.
