Enhancing the Media Literacy of the Nation
We provide online and offline programs to help teachers of elementary, middle, and high schools in Korea to develop and strengthen their capabilities for using the media in their classes. We also provide group training and training on visit to schools, as well as the NIE training program overseas, for teachers.
We provide the media education training programs on career finding, aptitudes, reading, writing, and the media for parents with school-age children.
Under the free semester service agreements with education offices and school boards throughout the country, we support the successful establishment of free semester programs at schools nationwide. We work with the Metropolitan Office of Education of Seoul to develop and distribute media education programs (including “Newspapers for Dreams”). Our media education programs program has been named one of the 10 best Free semester system programs in the country.
We support over 200 NIE schools nationwide. These media education base schools are given various benefits and privileges, including special training and lectures and free newspaper subscriptions.
We dispatch media experts and instructors to schools, community centers, public libraries, and other such sites of learning to provide lessons on a wide range of activities, including writing, debating, media applications, and portfolio production.
We manage a media education search engine-cum-database, which media education teachers and instructors can use to obtain all the information and resources they need to develop and implement teaching plans at home or school, including news on media education worldwide, textbooks, research articles, and others (www.forme.or.kr).
We develop and distribute textbooks, based on our extensive experience with diverse media education programs and systems, which can be readily applied at schools of all levels.
We bring together leaders and instructors of media education programs from across the country every year, encouraging them to share their diverse experiences and to debate the best media education methodology.
We organize annual contest in which elementary, middle, and high-school students, teachers, parents, and college students compete by submitting creative works. The five areas of competition are: Making Newspapers; School Newspaper of the Year; Newspaper Scrapping; Essay Writing; and NIE Teaching Plans and Ideas.
