The poster is aimed for kindergarten or family day care and hobby facilities.
Poster for media education: Once upon a time...
Once upon a time, it was a fairy tale that children and young people learn to use the media as if by themselves. In reality, everyone needs media education and no one becomes a skilled and responsible media user just like that. The poster tries to remind us of the reality.
Poster: Just a fake
Just a fake poster helps to outline the means of misleading and also discuss the motives behind them. The poster is localized from the English poster of EAVI - Media Literacy for Citizenship.
