Globaloria has partnered with the LAMP to empower young people and educators with information, skills and awareness needed to be truly news- and media-literate. This is particularly critical for Globaloria participants as they learn to be digital media producers and civic agents in a media-rich world.
The LAMP (Learning About Multimedia Project) is a non-profit organization creating a grassroots movement to reform and improve media with the mission of building healthy relationships with all forms of media by communities. This is achieved through free media literacy workshops and public events for youth, parents and educators. The LAMP works in communities to build healthy relationships with all forms of media.
