  4. Finnish Society of Media Education In the Finnish language, Mediakasvatus (Media Education) is an established term that stands for work performed by educators in supporting the learning of children, young people and adults involving different media. This educational work may include both teaching about the media and through media, which means that media can be involved as a learning object or teaching tool as well as educational content itself. The objective of media education is an individual with media literacy skills who is able to utilize as well as produce media, to understand media production and expressions of media, to reflect on his personal relationship with media and to apply critical thinking as well as embrace self-expression.
