    Human Rights and Digital Literacy for Young Europeans

    The goal of this project is, mainly, to foster students to participate and gain social awareness of Human Rights by means of the creation of short videos. The project will focus on the “Convention on the Rights of the Child”, which includes people under 18 years old. From this point, it is proposed that students record short videos of drama plays, sketches or ads in which they can reflect their particular vision of the articles included in this International Code. All videos will be broadcasted among partners. Justification - The new and rapid advances in technology imply and demand a radical transformation of schools. In this context, education cannot be developed following the same models as in XIX and XX centuries, which were based on the transmission of knowledge. Instead, it should be based on a model in which the achievement of key competences is an integral part. Social and civic competences play a basic role in the development of youth’s democratic awareness. - Students cannot develop fully and neither can we have an innovative education without promoting the use of media in the curriculum.The European Parliament (16/12/2008) stressed the need to include Media Education in school curriculums, just as the recent General Law of Audiovisual Communication (31/03/2010). Media education is not only about teaching to use a computer but to provide an education that helps students to develop a critical thinking about media messages and which will allow them to participate actively as citizens. - Working on the “Convention on the Rights of the Child” will allow them to know their own rights and the obstacles to the exercise of these in daily life. Broadcasting their videos will permit them to know other views and problems which young Europeans face in different contexts
