We use tools as civic media literacy, the theory of change, photovoice, and others, to engage the people we work with, either young people in schools, seniors in neighbourhoods or other stakeholders for social impact management of projects, programmes, and processes. In Portugal, we coordinate with Universidade Lusófona the MigratED project in 4 schools.

Karpos
KARPOS was founded in Athens, in 2008 to gather competencies and ideas in the field of Media and Education. Karpos develops local and European projects encouraging expression and exchange of views and creative ideas through the use of media, according to the belief that, in a society crammed with images, these tools can empower both young and adult citizens to participate in social transactions and bring forward their own alternative voices. Following its experience with the national wide MELINA Project for the Arts in Education (1996-2004) and the European project Children in Communication about Migration (2002-04), Karpos collaborates with various organizations for teacher training in Media Education, proving how media, image, and sound can develop narratives and how they can be introduced in educational environments. KARPOS promotes hands-on and participatory learning through the media workshops it runs for adults and youth groups in and outside schools, in collaboration with teachers, libraries and parents.
