Multimodal Mindset

About the project

Multimodal Mindset (MSet) equips teachers and trainers with pedagogical tools to help students navigate an increasingly multimodal world — where written, visual and audio elements combine in the texts young people encounter every day on social media and beyond. The project develops teachers' ability to teach multimodal literacy explicitly, drawing on media literacy, creative drama and digital storytelling, so students can critically interpret and compose meaning across formats and become more resilient to disinformation. Coordinated by Alytaus Adolfo Ramanausko-Vanago Gymnasium (Lithuania), the Cooperation Partnership ran with a €164,753 grant.
