I have been Learning Manager at the National Media Museum (formerly the National Museum of Photography, Film & Television) since 1995. Our work, providing an inspiring and engaging array of media related learning programmes for all audiences, is underpinned by the three core media literacy aspects: access to media, undertsanding of the media and media production. All of our galleries, exhibitions, events and activities address one or more of the media literacy aims. We reach 650000 visitors annually - and 80000 of those engage directly with learning related activities. We work in partnership with the University of Bradford and co-teach modules for students engaged in over 16 different media related degree paths. We also work with the Football Foundation who fund a Youth Media TV project in which we engage directly with socially and educationally disadvantaged young people and teach them how to make football based tv programmes.
