During the first half of 2024, regional radio station, Beat, developed and delivered a substantial Digital Media Literacy Tour for secondary schools across the South East. For schools that missed out on the face to to face roadshow, Beat have now published a 20 minute video version<\/a> of the tour which schools and youth groups can access on the Beat website<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From January to May 2024, eleven of Beat\u2019s multi-platform content creators delivered a total of 41 bi-lingual digital media literacy information sessions, on site, at twenty different secondary schools across Wexford, Waterford, Carlow, Tipperary and Kilkenny.\u00a0 The schools that were visited, included two Me\u00e1nscoileanna Gaeilge where the course was primarily delivered as gaeilge by two of Beat’s presenters who are fluent gaelgeoir\u00ed.\u00a0 For each session, the presenters worked in pairs and delivered this campaign with passion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course content was created in-house by the team, based on the junior cycle\u2019s \u201can introduction to digital media literacy<\/em>\u201d short course curriculum and Media Literacy Ireland\u2019s \u201cStop, Think, Check<\/em>\u201d campaign. The presenters\u2019 engaging, fun and interactive sessions brought the theory to life for students. In total, the campaign directly engaged with 2,000 first year secondary school students on site and thousands more online.\u00a0 School’s who would like the digital version of Beat’s Digital Media Literacy Tour can email info@beat102103.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of each workshop, students had to complete a pop quiz to demonstrate what they had learned. All correct answers went into a draw for an iPad for the individual student, and \u20ac1,000 for the school to go towards tools to support the school\u2019s media literacy curriculum. The lucky school was Presentation Secondary School in Kilkenny and you can listen back to the big reveal below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
