ComCom Representatives Invited by Council of Europe to Take Part in a Workshop for National Experts
As part of the initiative by the Steering Committee for Education of the Council of Europe (CDEDU), ComCom member Natia Kukuladze and Head of Media Literacy Department Mariam Dakhundaridze conducted a visit to Strasbourg to attend a workshop for national experts on digital citizenship education (DCE). The aim of the meeting was to create a DCE framework document. The workshop covered important topics such as age-appropriate learning, lesson plans, project ideas, online courses and educational resources for different age groups.
During the workshop, participants discussed the experiences of their countries with regards to digital citizenship and produced recommendations for accessibility and inclusion, teaching and creativity, media and information literacy, ethics and empathy, health and well-being, digital identity and communication, active participation, rights and obligations, privacy and security, and user awareness. The DCE framework document will help member countries implement digital citizenship education.
Cooperation with media literacy organisations and raising public awareness on this issue is one of the main priorities for the Communications Commission.
