Workshops
As a means of improving media literacy amongst the public, YCAM has developed workshops which focus on the relationship between people and society, the human body and media technology.
Our approach is primarily practical, focusing not so much on "learning about technology" but, rather, "learning with technology" and "thinking from a technological standpoint." Beyond simply improving people's media literacy and strengthening their knowledge, we work to introduce new perspectives into their daily lives which foster greater creativity and imagination, enabling them to see the world around them in an entirely new light.
