As part of the project to integrate media literacy into formal education, the Communications Commission trained around 30 teachers in the Municipality of Marneuli. The seminar was led by media literacy trainer Manana Jincharadze, who informed the participants about the project. The meeting was attended by teachers who will be teaching the media literacy subject in schools. The project is being implemented across the country, including settlements with a high concentration of ethnic minorities.

The project to integrate media literacy into formal education began in 2022, and serves to introduce an optional subject for 10^th graders. The pupils will study under the guidance of trained teachers for one semester and learn about media literacy, media and information language, information processing and disinformation.

The Communications Commission, in close cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia, is implementing the “Integration of Media Literacy into Formal Education” project, which is funded by UNICEF. The project will offer training to a total of 500 teachers from every region of Georgia.
