Why CUMILA?
Digitization – media literacy is an indispensable part of everyday life and is an integral part of the education sector. Despite the constant use of smartphones and the like, handling the new media and communication technologies has to be learned. In the area of adult education, many resources remain unused because media literacy is not sufficiently integrated into the classroom. With the conception of this Curriculum Guides of Media and Information Literacy For Adults, we want to offer workshops in the future and, in the spirit of inclusion, self-directed learning by promoting equal opportunities, we want to accelerate the expansion of participation and learning opportunities.
