Media & Learning 2012 . Brussels . 14 y 15 Noviembre

 Hoy traemos a este espacio el Media & Learning 2012 que se celebrará el 14 y 15 de Noviembre en Bruselas, que se nos presenta así:
Media & Learning 2012 is the place to be if you are interested in
the latest developments, services and uses of media in education and
training. Aimed at both policy makers and practitioners, the purpose of
this annual event is to identify policies and initiatives that promote
digital and media competence at all levels of education and training as
well as to promote best-practice in the take-up and application of media
in education and training.
At this conference we will be discussing:

• the urgency of embedding digital and media literacy skills amongst the European workforce
• how best to convince stakeholders about the importance of embedding
  digital and media skills amongst learning professionals and learners at
  all levels of education and training

The conference will include:

• practical learning opportunities showing how you can apply all types
  of media in education and training through workshops and hands-on
  training sessions
• information sessions describing lots of different initiatives and
  developments linked to this field supported by European and national
  programmes
• sessions linked to the MEDEA Awards 2012,
  a competition now in its fourth year that recognises and rewards
  excellence in this field. These sessions will feature winners and
  finalists from the past and current competitions.

A highlight of the Media & Learning Conference will be the MEDEA
Awards Ceremony 2012 when this year’s winners will be announced and
shown on Wednesday evening at 18:30.
