Media Literary Awareness

Led by the CA year 3 class, the students visited two schools to create awareness about media literacy. The first school visited was Tusbab Secondary, just up the road from DWU, while the second was the Jomba Primary School.

Split into six groups the students discussed issues such as violence, women, reality, advertising, tourism and culture. After the group discussion, the children themselves gave a lively presentation on what they had learnt from the discussions.

After that…it was lunch and a bit of fun!

Unfortunately our cameras couldn’t come to Jomba so no picture story to tell the story….

However, everyone was impressed with the feedback they got from grade eight students there.

They interpreted what they had talked about in their groups and completely blow away the CA

students who were smiling with an air of achievement for Media Freedom Day 2006

Until next year…

Enjoy your media freedom and let us endeavour to create media literacy in

our communities.
