This makes it all the more important to learn media literacy, as it enables us to categorise our experiences and participate in culture." Anton Biebl, cultural adviser of the city of Munich and patron of DOK.education.
The Schule des Sehens is an event of the International Documentary Film Festival Munich e.V. Sincere thanks are given to our partners und sponsors, who provide our students with cultural education, media competence training and participation at art and culture in this year.
