What’s out there?
• There is a digital divide which can be seen as an opportunity looking at our international partners who are creating initiatives to reach the most vulnerable and disadvantaged – e.g. community viewing, workshops, Hole in the Wall.
• There are good and bad television programs – e.g. developmentally and culturally appropriate, versioning into home languages.

Best Practices / Lessons Learned
• Research is critical in developing media. • Must work with key local experts who help shape and
define the educational, cultural and linguistic context of our program(s).
• Work in partnerships with governmental ministries to help build educational context that supports their national curriculum.
• Media literacy is often included in national curricula.• Educational Outreach makes a difference – workshops
must be a series to build capacity and skills.• Materials must be available in home languages. • Children learn best in their home languages and are often
multilingual.
