Our network parner Creative Initiatives “e” (Poland) is on the shortlist for the Evens Prize for Media Education! With the second Evens Prize for Media Education, to be awarded in 2011, the Evens Foundation continues to highlight the importance of Media Education and to support sustainable projects in this field in Europe. The aim of this prize is to stimulate efforts to increase media literacy by raising critical awareness, which implies comprehension and cultural awareness, and by encouraging media creativity. Both of these contribute to the development of highly aware, active and responsible citizens.
The call for nominations was aimed at projects in the field of Media Education that focus on improving intercultural communication competences. Existing Media Education projects that can clearly demonstrate an attempt to use media production as a communication tool for young people to enter other cultural systems could apply through the application form on our website.
The Prize money of 20.000 € will be dedicated and divided by the external Jury Members and the Evens Foundation and will be used to create a new dimension to the winning project(s).
