Media Literacy Week: Representation in Media
Who is telling the story, and who might be missing from the picture?
Media can act as both a mirror that reflects our own identities and experiences, and a window that helps us learn about the lives and perspectives of others.
💡Quick tip: Look beyond the story itself. Consider whose perspective is being represented, whose voice you’re hearing and whose experiences might be missing.

Media Literacy Week: Digital Citizen Day
If the internet were a neighbourhood, what kind of neighbour would you be?
The way we interact, communicate and treat others online helps shape the digital spaces we all share.
💡Quick tip: Be safe, savvy and social online. Protect your information, think critically about what you consume and share, and treat others with kindness and respect.
