The Learnovation Open Forum: Removing the barriers to creativity and innovation?
Learnovation Open Forum, 27th May, Brussels: an agenda for change in Education and Lifelong learning beyond 2010 proposed in Brussels.
The Learnovation Open Forum entitled “Removing the barriers to creativity and innovation? Listening to stakeholders’ voice”, was held on 27 May 2009 in Brussels, gathering the main European networks in the field of innovation and ICT for Education and Training. This event was organised by the Learnovation Roundtable with the support of the European Commission as a contribution to the European Year of Creativity and Innovation, and resulted in the launch of the “10 imperatives for change” to make European education and lifelong learning a lever for innovation.
More and more observers are claiming that, despite the attention given by EU policy makers to creativity and innovation, as testified by the fact that he year 2009 has been dedicated to these issues, education and training systems are not facilitating enough the emergence of creative skills and attitudes but rather are often hindering their potential.

What Are the New Media Literacies?
Project New Media Literacies (NML), a research initiative based within MIT’s Comparative Media Studies program, explores how we might best equip young people with the social skills and cultural competencies required to become full participants in an emergent media landscape and raise public understanding about what it means to be literate in a globally interconnected, multicultural world.
The white paper Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st Century (Jenkins et al., 2006) identifies the three core challenges: the participation gap, the transparency problem and the ethics challenge, and shares a provisionary list of skills needed for full engagement in today’s participatory culture. Watch out the video made by the members of the NML team share their thoughts and perspectives on the skills we call the New Media Literacies.
