Regional Media Literacy Training Workshop Report

Over the last two years Gender Links has successfully piloted media literacy courses with the general public and trainers based in Johannesburg and with learners from four provinces of South Africa. Between 2006 and 2007 twenty nine members of the general public were trained, nineteen learners from secondary school and twenty two trainers from the Southern African region.

Following the success of the pilot projects, GL seeks to cascade this project to other parts of SA and within the SADC region. The concept is to identify at least four Southern African countries in which there are strong GEMSA chapters and knowledge/training institutions that would be willing to partner in media literacy initiatives as part of their community outreach.
