Arcom is a partner of the Centre pour l'éducation aux médias et à l'information (CLEMI) for the Semaine de la presse et des médias à l'école, from March 18 to 23, 2024.
The 35th Press and Media Week in Schools(SPME), of which the French regulatory authority for audiovisual and digital communication, Arcom, is once again a partner, aims tohelp students understand the media scheme, shape their critical verdict, develop their taste for news and forge their identity as citizens.
As in previous years, it mobilizes schoolteachers, librarians and teachers to introduce students from kindergarten to high school to the world of the press and media. During the week, teachers carry out media education sequences in class, set up actions within schools, propose meetings with journalists and media professionals, and set up information production sequences with journalists and the media.
Numerous events are also organized in the Île-de-France region and in the Académie.
This year's theme is"News on all fronts", which addresses the current challenges of journalism under pressure, artificial intelligence and media coverage of ecology and climate.
Arcom's role and educational resources
Throughout France, Arcom regularly conducts initiatives to promote media and information literacy and digital citizenship. On the occasion of Press and Media Week in Schools (SPME), the Authority is visiting classrooms, welcoming students and giving them the opportunity to speak with members of the Arcom college, to gain a better understanding of the French media and digital ecosystem.
For the 2024 edition :
- Arcom memberHervé Godechot will be speaking at 10am on Thursday March 21 at the Lycée Rabelais in Meudon, to four classes of second-year students.
- Bénédicte Lesage, an Arcom member, will meet 4th grade students (media class) at Evariste Galois secondary school in Paris 13e at 2pm on Thursday March 21.
- on Monday, March 18, 9am, Arcom will meet with BTS audiovisuel students from Lycée Suger in Seine-Saint-Denis, on the theme of freedom of expression and its limits.
- On Friday, March 22, 2pm, Arcom will welcome two classes from the Lycée Gustave Eiffel in Rueil-Malmaison, on the theme of equality between men and women.
For several years now, the question of how the audiovisual sector (television, radio, online platforms and regulation) can contribute to education in the media, information and digital citizenship has emerged as a necessity in support of teacher-led initiatives.
Arcom has been involved in media, information and digital literacy education for several years, producing resources for teachers, parents and families, as well as professionals, that address issues of information ethics, respect for royalties, and present the challenges of representation and equality in the audiovisual media.
Arcom's actions in the field of media literacy, information literacy and digital citizenship focus on three main areas:
- education through the media: encouraging TV channels, radio stations and online platforms to contribute to the education effort, and highlighting the actions they are carrying out (e.g. publication of teaching resources, interventions in classrooms, etc.) as part of an annual report.
- Education through media use: encourage education through media use, since it's often much easier for students to put themselves in the shoes of a journalist or content creator, to understand their responsibilities and identify their rights. Hosting a web radio or web TV station, or even creating a web documentary, are all experiences that awaken students to their rights and obligations.
- Media literacy, information literacy and digital citizenship: take your own initiatives and propose teaching resources that present the audiovisual and digital world, the role of the regulator, and deal with the challenges of media representations, ethics, exposure to screens and creation.
