Media Literacy in a Time of War: Voices from Palestine

A group of students in the West Bank have developed a creative approach to address media literacy as something broader than simply identifying whether information is true or false. They are exploring critical thinking, algorithms and AI, and in this webinar, they explain how they adapted media literacy activities for younger students. Their organization, Media Compass, is working to move young people from participants to facilitators and educators themselves. They share lessons from their work with children, youth, facilitators, and different communities in Palestine.
Why many Palestinian educators call media literacy a survival skill
