We invite you to a talk about active citizenship among young people, focused on good practices and ideas for working with digital tools. The talk will examine the opportunities for holding these activities in libraries as third spaces.
Theme: Civic education in third spaces – involving young people in active citizenship processes through digital media
Speaker: Katrin Hünemörder, founder of the German organisation mediale pfade.
Katrin Hünemörder is the Managing Director of mediale pfade, a Berlin-based organisation focused on digital and civic media education. She leads the development of digital learning formats that support an emancipatory approach to media, technology and democratic participation – including preventing online radicalisation of young people, and strengthening media literacy through active media work.
Katrin has been active in civic education since the late 1990s. She is one of the co-founders of the European Youth Press and has held roles as a trainer, project manager, and content expert in international organisations, including a peace organisation in Guatemala. Katrin holds a Master of Business Administration in Leadership and Sustainability and lives in Berlin.
mediale pfade runs a media education centre on the outskirts of Berlin and has collaborated with various library associations in Germany to strengthen media literacy programmes in libraries.
