M-Passion
ed: Meet our Members
Filmmaker
Media Literacy Educator
"Currently I'm based in Kosovo as a Fulbright Research Fellow looking at media literacy education in the country. I'll be spending nine months mapping the media literacy landscape, speaking with NGOs and educators, surveying students, and understanding media literacy education from a global perspective - and learning Albanian!
While I'm here I'll also be collaborating with teachers and organizations to design and facilitate media literacy programs for Kosovar teens and young adults. It would be great to include some mediated cultural exchange with students from the U.S. within these programs, so please contact me via email if you're an educator interested in collaborating on a media literacy exchange.
