World Summit on Media for Children and Youth 14-18 juni 2010, Karlstad
Ett 15-tal medlemmar från föreningen deltog i den stora konferensen i Karlstad. Sist arrangerades den i Johannesburg, där tre av våra medlemmar deltog. Föreningens verksamhet i Karlstad presenterades i Film i Värmlands monter med en nyproducerad roll-up och nytryckta broschyrer
på engelska.
I programmet arrangerade föreningen ett seminarium med filmpedagogen Fredrik Holmberg
som berättade om den svenskafilmpedagogikens utveckling under titeln ”Sweden: Heaven and Hell”.
Ur programmet:
Media education is young some people say. It is as old as society itself according to others. Some say it is a luxury. It is the most essential knowledge in a democracy others say. It is one thing in a rich country and something quite different in a developing one. Is it a subject of its own, or should it be a part of every subject? We all need this now, some people say. Other things are more important by other standards. Folkets Bio Filmpedagogerna describes the history of media education in general from a Swedish horizon. What has made it complicated, rewarding, difficult, easy or sometimes even impossible to promote? What parts do education, research, culture, politics or even common sense play when it comes to media education? We suggest a solution to our troubles in today´s media situation.
