More than 30 Teachers in the Pankisi Gorge Trained to Teach Media Literacy

As part of the project to integrate media literacy into formal education, the Communications Commission trained more than 30 teachers in the Pankisi Gorge. The seminar was led by media literacy trainer Ani Gvetadze, who discussed the issues of implementing and teaching media literacy in schools with the teachers. 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 10th 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.
