Courageous Conversations are coming to PBS LearningMedia

We’re excited to announce a collection of free classroom resources created by Courageous RI, an initiative of the Media Education Lab. This collection of lesson plans, hosted on PBS LearningMedia and produced by Ocean State Media, features videos of Rhode Island students engaging in real, courageous conversations about issues that matter to them and their peers.

 


Political violence and radicalization are as present as ever, reinforcing the need for honest conversations around hard topics. We invite educators, students, and community members to join us as we introduce the resources, showcase highlights, and share strategies for using them to build media literacy skills, engage students in dialogue, and offer space for diverse perspectives in the classroom.
