In preparation for the start of the new school year, Arcom provides teachers with teaching resources on the challenges of freedom of expression, media representations, respect for copyright, promotion of legal supplies and good Internet practices.
For many years, and even more so since the attacks of 2015, the question of the contribution of audiovisual players (television, radio, online platforms and regulation) to media education, information and digital citizenship has emerged as a necessity in support of actions led by teachers.
As a result, Arcom has produced a number of resources for teachers, parents and families, as well as professionals, to help them tackle the issues of information ethics, respect for royalties, and the challenges of representation and equality in the audiovisual media.
Resources on the challenges of representation and citizenship in the audiovisual media
Arcom offers a range of teaching resources to help students understand the challenges of representation and citizenship in the media.
Thanks to a partnership with the Créteil education authority and the Institut national de l'audiovisuel (INA), these resources are enriched with teaching scenarios for secondary school teachers, as well as video and audio resources.
Resources for responsible screen use
The Internet is an inexhaustible source of information. However, it's not without risk to yourself or others. When browsing the Internet for cultural goods (films, series, music, gaming, etc.), you may come across unlawful sites that present risks for you and harm creation.
Arcom runs awareness raising initiatives on royalties, and makes teaching modules and a wide range of resources available to the educational community.
Understanding royalties
Fact sheets to help you understand copyright, produced in collaboration with the French Ministry of Education and Youth.
Pocket documentary
An educational and artistic project run in partnership with Scam (société civile des auteurs multimédia) and the Forum des images, focusing on documentaries for high school students. The scheme aims to raise awareness among students of responsible cultural use of the Internet, through the production of short documentary films.
Go paperless teaching modules
They are designed for middle and high school students and teachers, enabling them to run independent sessions dedicated to understanding royalties.
