Media. Never before have children and teens been fed with so many images in so many media. But the ability to see through the fake and the manipulative requires knowledge and training. Now schools receive access to a new material that can strengthen the visual literacy.
It is the State’s media council on behalf of the government produced educational material on how images are used to convince, propagate and manipulate. Interpreting is not something new in the school, but bildutbudet has become so much larger and the senders of so many more, ” says Helena Valley, director of information and guidance at the Swedish media council.

– Young people need the help of trained eyes to put the images in a larger context, this material is to learn how to handle the känsloström you get when you see a picture, to be able to navigate around it that is false or biased, ” says Helena Valley.
