Media Literary Awareness
Led by the CA year 3 class, the students visited
two schools to create awareness about media
literacy. The first school visited was Tusbab
Secondary, just up the road from DWU, while
the second was the Jomba Primary School.
Split into six groups the students discussed issues
such as violence, women, reality, advertising,
tourism and culture. After the group discussion,
the children themselves gave a lively
presentation on what they had learnt from the
discussions.

After that…it was lunch and a bit of fun!
Unfortunately our cameras couldn’t come to Jomba so no
picture story to tell the story….
However, everyone was impressed with the feedback they
got from grade eight students there. They interpreted what
they had talked about in their groups and completely blow
away the CA students who were smiling with an air of
achievement for Media Freedom Day 2006
Until next year…
Enjoy your media freedom and let us
endeavour to create media literacy in our
communities.
