Media, especially digital media, is central to our daily lives and the technology behind it is changing all the time. Knowing how to use, understand and evaluate media is essential if we want to be able to participate fully in society, and make informed decisions based on accurate and reliable information - whether those decisions relate to health, politics, economics or any other aspect of life.
During this talk, Martina Chapman, National Coordinator of Media Literacy Ireland will highlight the important role that media has in our lives and give tips and advice on how to manage our relationship with media.
Exploring the Be Media Smart campaign from Media Literacy Ireland, Martina will offer tips and guidance on how to avoid misinformation, especially in the run up to elections and she will highlight other sources of support available for people on their learning journeys.
This talk will be followed by a Q&A
