The Layers -project is a cultural approach to studying and teaching digital media literacy. The aim of the project is to bring out the different aspects of digital literacy and media education involving the critical and creative thinking.
The goal is to make this knowledge accessible by combining the audiovisuality with a theoretical background.
In this project digital literacy will be reviewed as a form of self expression.
The focus is both in individual and social processes. Digital literacy is seen as series of choices where different aspects bunch together as layers.
