The

principles and elements of media literacy education and
CML's framework for teaching it the CML MediaLit Kit
During this four-hour workshop you will learn and experience
the core concepts of media literacy through presentations,
demonstrations and interactive hands-on activities that
examine all elements of our mediated society from identity
