Media education

PC, smartphone or games console: Today, media are a natural part of children and young people's everyday lives. On the one hand, these new media environments offer endless opportunities for information, communication and entertainment, but they also harbor serious risks, especially for adolescents.

It is important to promote media literacy among children and young people.

Cyberbullying, data misuse and copyright infringements are just some of them. The best way for young people to protect themselves from these dangers is to be able to evaluate and critically scrutinize media content.

With its specialist advice on media education, youth protection in Bonn has placed a focus on promoting media literacy among children and young people. Whether in open youth work or youth association work, we support and initiate media projects in Bonn and inform multipliers, educational professionals, educators, youth work volunteers and parents about current developments in the areas of media education and youth media protection.

On behalf of the City of Bonn, the Media Education Advisory Service is the contact for the MakeCityBonn cooperation project and for the Elterntalk NRW offer.
