Highlights of 2008
The three-week Academy brought together top undergraduate and graduate students from around the world and a global faculty to study and live at the Seminar’s home, the world-renowned Schloss Leopoldskron, celebrated as an historic center of scholarship—as well as the movie “home” of the Von Trapp family in “The Sound of Music.”
The Global Media Literacy curriculum focused on five key elements of media literacy: identifying, monitoring, understanding, defending, promoting and motivating media. The students created a dynamic online-based curriculum with full lesson plans, a reserach project that analyzed global media coverage of the 2008 Olympics, and three videos dealing with media literacy, freedom of expression, and the Beijing Olympics.
