CLP Media Education
The Common Language Project offers media literacy and production workshops in a variety of educational settings throughout the United States and Canada. Our curriculum varies according to educational level, and can be custom tailored to specific classroom needs.
For middle school and high school classes we cover basic media literacy, discussing the role of independent media in society and issues of diversity and ownership in media. We also offer trainings on basic multimedia production.
For undergraduate and graduate courses we cover multimedia production, the nuts and bolts of international reporting and web-publishing, and career development in independent media.
We provide our workshops free of charge for public schools in Western Washington, and often ask for little more than the cost of transportation from other institutions.
To find out more, or to schedule a workshop, email us at education@clpmag.org or call (206) 913-2916
