Eco-Media is a set of hybrid learning opportunities for students everywhere to explore and produce meaningful media for the critical and compassionate exchange of ideas.
The programs and publications blend the studies and application of deep ecology, social cohesion, civil discourse, well-being, and critical media literacy to engage students in unpacking a complex technological landscape while creating media for a healthier, happier, and more sustainable world.
Schools, educators and students can customize experiences with our Inspire Citizens’ team around launching Eco-Media programs, co-designing learning experiences, embedding humane media and technology literacies into practices and school communities, and empowering learners to design purposeful publications for local and global digital exhibitions and our own Inspire Citizens archives.
