In contrast to traditional mass media which is a one way communication, the internet consists of participants who are transmitters and receptors at the same time. Users of the new media are the so called «Produsers», a term synthesising «Producers» and «Users».

Everyone can become «a produser». Our training courses across Europe will help you to develop your skills in effective use of ICT and new media. You can become a web-TV reporter, new media journalist or even a trainer.

It is important that European employees and citizens develop their ICT skills and are familiar with social and community media tools as means of self-expression and communication.

Who can attend our courses?

Our primary target groups are lecturers and people employed in:

• vocational education institutions
• community media centres
• trade unions
• NGOs
• other civil society institutions

In addition vocational education in social and community media will interest the employment sector, media designers, journalists, graphic designers, media educators, as well as youth and social workers.

Participants on our training courses will acquire skills in the field of new media and ICT, in particular the creative use of digital audio-visual media and the Internet. They will also acquire knowledge about methodologies for teaching media skills to children, young people, social workers, community media workers, NGO leaders, migrants and senior citizens.
