PDF + MediaRelate: understanding media images of love, sex and relationships

[Ryan Goble]

This is an AWESOME teaching curriculum spearheaded by the really famous academic David Buckingham (he was the major keynote at Teach, Think, Play 2008). Nice set of resources for a really tough issue...

MediaRelate: understanding media images of love, sex and relationships' is a project that has produced and is evaluating teaching materials about the media, sex and relationships in the media, for use in school classrooms and non-formal settings with young people aged between twelve and fifteen.

MediaRelate involves four partners working across Europe: the Centre for the Study of Children, Youth and Media at the Institute of Education, the English and Media Centre, the Netherlands Entertainment-Education Foundation, and the Department of Communications at the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
