ABOUT MEDIASCAPES PROJECT
MEDIASCAPES aims at exploring various relationships among types of
space, media, and people, approaching such findings from a media
literacy perspective, by drawing inferences to be used in non-formal
and informal learning of adults, especially and foremost in family
settings. The Partnership intends to address issues related to the
convergence and divergence among ‘classic’ and digital cultural
forms by:
a) exploring a series of social and cultural practices involving
the use of media in the family, as reconfigured by new
cultural forms generated by digital technologies;
b) exploring relationships among space, people, and media in
urban settings, including cases of accommodation or conflict
between physical space and cyberspace;

c) drawing out implications of findings in terms of guidelines
for trainers involved in inter-generational and family
learning, and generating a collection of case studies and
best/good practices, assembled on an online resource center.
