The event is the leading global showcase for research, pedagogy and
innovation on all aspects of media education.
Now running for thirteen years, MES is convened by the UK’s Centre for Excellence in Media Practice, in collaboration with a

convened by Internet Policy Review, on the theme of
digital literacy.
The 2020 Youth Media Education Summit will take place in partnership
with local schools.
About the theme
Media organisations are engaging in reflection about what it means to be
diverse. What does it mean to give people from different communities an
effective voice in the 21st century media? This has theoretical and
methodological implications media education: where are diversity and voice to
be located in terms of our study of producers, texts and audiences? Responding
to these questions invites interdisciplinary, self-reflexive and practice-based
research.
- The organisers are particularly interested in presentations on these topics:
- Defining, measuring, and evaluating diversity
- Performativity and pedagogy
- Inclusion, access and agency
- National and institutional policy initiatives
- Meeting diverse educational needs
- Diversity and voice in practice
Submission of abstracts and registrations are now open on the conference site.
