Project title *
IFT Mobile Unit / Unidad Móvil IFT
Description *
The Federal Telecommunications Institute aims to form active audiences and savvy users of telecommunication services by delivering workshops that will empower students ages between 9 to 15, their families and the general public, through media literacy. In a three year period, we will cover Mexico’s 32 states, via an adapted trailer that has been equipped with an auditorium for 20 persons, a tv set and a radio studio. The workshops abide to UNESCO’s, Media and Information Literacy Curriculum for Teachers because we believe that media literacy is an important prerequisite for fostering equitable access to information and knowledge and promoting free, independent and pluralistic media and information systems.
