Media Literacy Week
Media Literacy Week is an annual national campaign promoting digital media literacy, with activities and events taking place in classrooms, libraries, museums and community groups from coast to coast.
Each fall, MediaSmarts works with over 150 collaborating organizations and thousands of teachers to deliver fun and engaging activities that inspire Canadians to be better digital citizens.
Whether you’re a teacher in a classroom, a community organizer, or simply anyone who uses the internet, join us in promoting digital media literacy activities!
