As media and digital technologies are finding their way into more and more areas of life and work, fostering media skills, especially digital ones, is becoming ever more important. Educational programmes to meet this need are intended to support children and young adults in exploring, understanding and helping to shape the digital world. In doing so, it is vital not only to promote media competencies at a practical level, but also to help children and young adults gain an understanding of the underlying functional principles. For more than three years, the Media Compass has been offering teachers a common definition, focus and aid to implementation when promoting media competency among children and young adults.
