The Center for Youth and Media Studies (« centre d’études sur les jeunes et les médias ») gathers researchers from various disciplines around problematics emerging from the field of media education. Each year since 2013, to reinforce this research network, its members organise an international event around themes including media education, youth media use, educational media, and critical pedagogy. In partnership with the Canada research chair for media education and human rights, this new edition will focus on public policies regarding media education. Relying on various levels of analysis (local, territorial, national and international level), various disciplines and methods, the conference will confront theoretical, epistemological, axiological and socio-political positions. The relations between public policies, training systems, stakeholders and publics (politicians, educators, scientists, students…) will be particularly investigated.
