Formar para um uso crítico e esclarecido dos meios de comunicação, quer dos tradicionais quer dos que resultam das novas tecnologias, é um imperativo de cidadania que constitui profunda preocupação do Grupo Informal sobre Literacia Mediática - GILM, constituído pelo Centro de Estudos de Comunicação e Sociedade da Universidade do Minho, Comissão Nacional da UNESCO, Conselho Nacional de Educação, Entidade Reguladora para a Comunicação Social e Gabinete para os Meios de Comunicação Socia
Trazer para a agenda pública esta dimensão da formação dos cidadãos, promovendo a consequente definição e aplicação de políticas coerentes de literacia e educação para os media é o objetivo partilhado das citadas instituições que, para o efeito, têm vindo desde 2009 a desenvolver um conjunto de atividades destinadas a contribuir de forma substantiva para o aprofundamento de conhecimentos e para o debate sobre as múltiplas questões que integram o grande universo do “pensar e agir digital”.
Este 2.º Congresso Literacia, Media e Cidadania constitui, enquanto evento internacional, um importante desafio.
Serão, seguramente, dois dias substantivos em termos de análise de trabalhos de investigação, de discussão conceptual, de sugestões para a criação e implementação de políticas, para programas de formação e para práticas de intervenção.
