Teacher Webinar: Building Media Literacy in the Classroom

Teachers increasingly feel that schools should provide safe spaces for children to discuss sensitive and complex topics and to evaluate the news they are exposed to. However, teachers also say they feel ill-equipped to confidently bring these discussions into the classroom and safely support children in sharing their perspectives as well as engaging with viewpoints different from their own.

Join this webinar to build your confidence in tackling difficult topics in your classrooms and to foster open-minded and media-literate critical thinkers.

The webinar will:

• Give practical tips for building media literacy and tackling misinformation
• Detail how to support open-minded discussions on divisive issues
• Share the pedagogies behind oracy-focused classroom activities on current affairs
