Abstract

The development of media competence is now widely recognized in educational and policy circles as essential to the formation of well-balanced citizens, capable of making their own judgements and participating fully in society. This presentation will focus on efforts in Irish education to support media competence and how it can contribute to sustainable policies for children, youth and families.
