As part of the project to integrate media literacy into formal education, the Media Academy of the Communications Commission hosted the third seminar for teachers who will be teaching media literacy in schools. The seminar was led by media literacy trainer Ani Gvetadze, who instructed the teachers in theoretical and practical topics. Approximately 100 teachers were trained across Tbilisi in total.

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.
