🗓 Join us on Monday, July 8, for a discussion with film director and media tutor Maria Leonida on how various visual expression techniques can be used in media literacy education. Aiming at a variety of audiences, with higher or lower language skills, with a transgenerational and transdisciplinary attitude, Maria Leonida proposes deconstructing film and audiovisual language to self-contained units with narrative elements. These units may stand as puzzle pieces that could be mounted in a multiplicity of ways. Don't miss out on this fabulous conversation!
