Digital Manifesto

To achieve this, Media Animation supports adults, whether they are parents, grandparents, teachers, educators, etc., by providing them with key tools, training, methodologies, activities, etc., so that they can strengthen their confidence in their role as media educators and in turn accompany the youngest in their discovery of the media.

Who we work with
