Educators from Tallinn, Harjumaa and Ida-Virumaa started the year learning media literacy
For the fourth time, our project for Russian-speaking teachers and youth workers started in January 2024. The project, organised by MTÜ Tuleviku Meedia in partnership with the Estonian Public Broadcasting portal Rus.ERR, Radio 4 and ETV+, was attended by 25 Russian-speaking teachers and youth workers from Tallinn, Harju County and Ida-Viru County.
The January part if the project included lectures, master classes, discussions, communication, exchange of experience, meetings with journalists and editors, as well as a special literary and cultural part of the programme related to journalism, the history of Tallinn and the works of Sergei Dovlatov. The teachers visited the ERR TV House and News House, the editorial offices and studios of ETV+ and the Rus.ERR portal.
In February, at least one more meeting will take place. The event will be dedicated to methods, tools and ways of including MIL elements into different lessons.
