The relation between the learning institutions, and their organisations, and media

The NILE project is a European project engaged in intercultural learning, combating racism and developing good practises to learn to live together in a multicultural society. For more informations look at the NILE-Website: www.intercultural-learning.net/

The impact of media plays a vital role in the public debate. Media is an important information resource for the learning institution. Media could also serve as a channel for the learning institutions and their participants where they could tell their stories and thus influence the public debate.

Within the NILE project we have formed a media group that works with the relationship between media and the learning institutions in Europe. We would like to know more about this relationship and therefore we kindly ask you to answer this questionnaire.
