The Media Literacy Task Force* invite you to participate in the Digital Media Literacy Summit 2007

Date: 08 November 2007
Location: Channel 4 Television 124 Horseferry Road, London, SW1P 2TX

Working for a Media Literate UK

The extraordinary changes taking place in how we create, consume and talk about media content requires the whole industry, policy makers and educators to think afresh about how we can ensure that the public is able to access the social skills, experiences and cultural competencies to fully participate in and make sense of a landscape that is characterised by a ceaseless riptide of innovation.
The Digital Media Literacy Summit will provide a unique opportunity to explore these challenges with input from leading thinkers and practitioners from the UK and overseas.

In particular, the emergence of new participatory cultures is creating a whole series of new challenges to accepted thinking about media literacy as the focus moves from one of individual expression to one of community involvement.
