eCLIPse - Digital Video Clips for a Social Europe
TV has become a closed circuit of advertisement in all its forms and
often relies on image building to achieve its goals. Some of the
consequences of the massive - and mainly free - distribution of
value-loaded images at the service of economic benefit, are religious and
gender prejudices, domestic violence, xenophobia and racism, none of which
contributes to real integration of European citizens.

ECML - European Centre for Media Literacy
With media technology becoming so prevalent in homes, and with
multi-media education more possible now with student access to computers
and the Internet, "media literacy" expands the basic concept of
literacy (i.e. "reading" and "writing") to all forms
of communication - from television to T-shirts, from billboards to
multi-media environments. In our world of multi-tasking, commercialism,
globalization and interactivity, media education isn't about having the
right answers-it's about asking the right questions. The result is
lifelong empowerment of the learner and citizen.

e-QUALITY - Virtual Spaces of democratic dialogue
among cultures, about the image
The general aim of the present project is to foster democratic
participation and the use of ICTs by people who have had fewer
opportunities to access them, by means of training focused on critical
reading of the mass media, including the images derived from these. We
will work specifically with the Internet, because it is the most
accessible way to work in the classrooms and because of the resources of
the participating associations.

ICON - Identity Formation in Contextual Media Culture
Based on existing research, teenagers have a tremendous and pervasive
impact on the technological, social, communicative changes in knowledge
society. The various formations of individual and group-oriented, passive
and active performances and styles on the web, raise substantial questions
of the critical implications how information will be generated, perceived
and received on the web. Simultaneously new ways of communication,
collaboration and creative ways of interacting on the web have generated a
new learning culture which goes far beyond passive reception, reproduction
and consumption.
