Include Me+ Project

INCLUDE ME+ uses inclusion through mediation to develop a new education programme and empower higher institution educators, digital media providers, civil society organisations, and students to become responsible and active collaborators in shaping the future of digital media so that it contributes to inclusion, participation, and peace-building across Europe.

“It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.”

– Eleanor Roosevelt

"Independent journalism as a powerful tool for peace, for understanding. It is so important, especially during times like these, that the media hold the politicians feet to the fire..."

Acceptance speech – Amy Goodman

“An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.”

– Mahatma Gandhi

Social media is the ultimate equalizer. It gives a voice and a platform to anyone willing to engage.

– Amy Jo Martin

“I see the media as a huge kitchen table that stretches across the globe, that we all sit around and debate and discuss the most important issues of the day,” “War and peace, life and death. Anything less than that is a disservice to a democratic society.” 

– Amy Goodman

INCLUDE ME+ is responding to the NEED to improve digital media literacy and combat the negative impact that it can have within communities. This has been exacerbated by COVID, wartime and natural catastrophes in Europe isolate citizens further and pose a threat to resilience, progress and peace. The Include Me+ project aims to make digital media inclusive!

Project Activities

1

Mediation in Media Participatory Action Research:

Through this research we will find out how digital media can use non-formal mediation processes and methods to produce inclusion, participation and peace-building effects. In this process it will also ensure participation of project target groups. In total it contributes to all 3 priorities.

2

INCLUDE ME+ Training Programme

will create a training programme (OERs) that teaches the use of mediation in media as a civic, inclusive method of reporting to all the stakeholders of the digital content creation: media representatives, HE students as active civic content creators, CSOs.

3

INCLUDE ME IN MEDIA Documented Stories

Documented Stories is an innovative learning and teaching resource that will showcase how mediation can increase civic participation in digital media and motivate media for their peacebuilding role and relevance of their position in support to refugees.
