Welcome

Policy Unplugged exists to help promote social networking, knowledge generation and sharing, co-creation and the harnessing of collective intelligence within organisations and communities.

We do this using a blend of innovative research, consulting, facilitation, training, technologies, conferences and reportage. We believe by embracing the latest collaborative technology and helping people to engage with it rewardingly and blending this with more effective face to face meetings we can generate conversations, insights, relationships and ideas that can be truly transformative.

Working for a Media Literate UK

Background To The Digital Media Literacy Summit 2007

The Charter for Media Literacy was drawn up by the Media Literacy Task Force, which was set up with the support of the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport in 2004 and is chaired by Heather Rabbatts, CBE (formerly Head of Education at Channel 4, and a member of the UK Film Council Board).

It comprises senior representatives of the BBC, the British Board of Film Classification, the British Film Institute, Channel Four, ITV, the Media Education Association, Skillset and the UK Film Council. DCMS, Ofcom, the Broadband Stakeholder Group and Andrea Millwood-Hargrave sit as observers.

The Charter sets out some definitions of media literacy and priorities for developing it in what had previously been a fragmented field . The text of the Charter has been widely consulted upon, both within the UK and Europe, and many individuals and agencies in education, media and related industries have now pledged their support (see below). The Charter is also being championed across Europe by a wider group and has signatories from 19 other countries.

Whether that’s pleading for advice from others, or employers and educators linking together. The site is yours and we’ll be really interested to see if you find it helpful.

People who frighten me

People who frighten me - I heard one of the London 2012 Olympic committee members speaking last week (i'm afraid the meeting's 'Chatham House' rules prevents me from naming her). After a very interesting overview of the preparations she was asked "What is it that most frightens you?" We all thought she was going to say something like being worried that the stadium wouldn't be ready in time or the swimming pool will leak and flood half of the East End of London, but instead she said
