The Medienwerkstatt Frankfurt - MEWI is intended to give children and teenagers the opportunity for a critical assessment of the medium television. Producing television and trying to distort reality? The project “Schoolchildren make television” shows youngsters how to turn from the role of passive consumer into that of “maker”. Within the scope of “professional” journalistic research they not only become acquainted with the technical equipment, but also with the medium’s manipulative possibilities.
MEWI has its own studios for VHS and TV productions, offers introductory and advanced video courses, screens films and organizes regular workshops on the topic “New media”.
