Abstract(s)
The “Academy for Reading the World: Journalism, Communication and I” is a starting project promoting an interdisciplinary approach to media literacy amongst young adults from 14 to 25 years old, and it has selected critical thinking, self-regulation and communication as key competences to be developed through an immersive media experience. It is believed that if these capabilities are not seriously and formally trained when dealing with media narratives, then the reading of the world and communication practices will be at risk. The project has been conceived by a multidisciplinary group of researchers and journalists, selected as one of the Gulbenkian Academies for Knowledge and adopted by various Portuguese academic institutions with communication and journalism degrees. In this paper we would like to discuss the rationale behind this Portuguese national academy, established in Faro, Portalegre, Covilhã, Abrantes, Setúbal and Lisboa and assess the first year of this national collaborative experience. The final goal is to provide more structured data about how knowledge, skills, attitudes and values can together be mobilized in order to deal with contemporary media challenging contexts that insist on hindering reality readings.
