In each of them, fun tools and innovative methods support concrete learning. Each chapter alternates quizzes, visual examples and readings to stimulate curiosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the content has been assimilated, teachers and facilitators will find a variety of creative ways to conduct collective reflection in class or in a presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Evolving themes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Online learning methods have the advantage of allowing content updates and to be as close as possible to the questions raised by daily practices. It will thus continue to address immediate issues with pedagogy and originality. For the moment, the following modules are available: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>To critique the news: 5 approaches to media literacy<\/strong>: How to be critical of the information content circulating on social networks? How to identify and question the propagation of fake news? What social use is made of the news? This module proposes to identify and apply 5 methods of critical analysis of the news media.<\/li><li><strong>Conspiracy theories: sources and mechanisms<\/strong>: This module proposes to explore 6 educational approaches related to conspiracy theories and their propagation. They are intended to create debate as well as to provide usable analysis grids.<\/li><li><strong>Can we laugh at everyone?<\/strong> If laughter is spontaneous, it is above all based on cultural norms. This module questions the mechanisms of humour. Is irony used to maintain discrimination or to fight against it?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Other modules are being prepared and will be unveiled after they have been tested. This is particularly the case for those accompanying the European eMERGE project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">eMERGE : how to address gender representations in popular media?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The issue of gender equality is crucial today for the inclusion of all in our society. The perception of gender is rooted in family traditions and social context, but also in our media consumption, which can transmit stereotypical representations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>M\u00e9dia Animation has launched the European project eMERGE (e-Media Education about Representations of GEnder). This project is the result of a partnership between Belgium, Greece, Italy and Romania. It aims to strengthen teachers&#8217; skills in media education in order to deconstruct with students the gender representations and stereotypes embedded in their media practices and pop cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-17440 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-gridlove-single'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gridlove-popup\" href='https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2022\/04\/Banner-FB.png'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"274\" src=\"https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2022\/04\/Banner-FB-740x274.png\" class=\"attachment-gridlove-single size-gridlove-single\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2022\/04\/Banner-FB-740x274.png 740w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2022\/04\/Banner-FB-300x111.png 300w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2022\/04\/Banner-FB-1024x379.png 1024w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2022\/04\/Banner-FB-768x284.png 768w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2022\/04\/Banner-FB-1536x569.png 1536w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2022\/04\/Banner-FB-370x137.png 370w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2022\/04\/Banner-FB-270x100.png 270w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2022\/04\/Banner-FB-570x211.png 570w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2022\/04\/Banner-FB.png 1702w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What is gender?

How to promote inclusion in a media production?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many education professionals are confronted with these questions. In order to accompany their work, Media Animation has created several resources dedicated to it. Among them, four self-training modules provide theoretical content, practical exercises and examples about the issues of gender representations in the media. They are currently in experimentation phase and would after that be available and integrated into the e-learning platform of M\u00e9dia Animation.
