Media literacy education. Nordic perspectives

Digital culture offers different relationships with media to the ones that have existed earlier. For example, media now offers access to publicity more than ever, especially by means of the Internet. Digital agency including skills on media literacies are needed in these kinds of information societies. This agency implies skills and knowledge about how media work and how one can participate through media. Globally, enhancing media literacy is related to aspects of Human Rights, especially to the Rights of the Child, including possibilities for safe media use and participation, i.e. the right to have ones voice heard through the media.
