The call for the 2nd Evens Prize for Media Education, to be awarded in 2011, is now open. If you would like to apply, please read the “Call for Nominations” first and then fill in the “Application Form”. Both can be found on their website
The deadline is 15th April 2011
The Evens Foundation continues to highlight the importance of Media Education and to support sustainable projects in this field in Europe. The aim of this prize is to stimulate efforts to increase media literacy by raising critical awareness, which implies comprehension and cultural awareness, and by encouraging media creativity. Both of these contribute to the development of highly aware, active and responsible citizens.
The Evens Prize for Media Education 2011 is under the patronage of Mrs Androulla Vassiliou, member of the European Commission, Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth.
The call for nominations is aimed at projects in the field of Media Education that focus on improving intercultural communication competences. Existing Media Education projects that can clearly demonstrate an attempt to use media production as a communication tool for young people to enter other cultural systems can apply through the application form on our website.
