MEA – The Media Education Association Resource Network

Also, when it comes to making AND showing short firlms in a day, colleagues may be interested in this voluntary international network based in San Francisco with event successes since 2004 in Russia, USA, Canada, EU (Sofia, Soho/London, Paris, Frankfurt, Berlin), South America and (first time!)

On Media Praxis in Africa http://about.me/mediapraxisafrica

I assume we have (some) of our courses on line? Here is a sample from work I did at the John F. Kennedy Institute, Free university in Berlin.

This could become a great place to set up an international video exchange – See my blog post on Stroome http://www.digitalglue.org/2011/05/stroome.html

Hi Alan,
I posted news of your group to about 30 colleagues around the world and am a bit disappointed that so few of them have signed up (well, two actually!) Maybe you could post some links and or raise some issues that you think media educators internationally ought to be paying attention to?

I just sent this link to 45 of my contacts around the world. Hope some of them turn up here!

I just thought it would be useful to have an explicit invitation to colleagues from ’around the world’ into this network. Greetings from South Africa.
