  [ubiquitous announcements that circulate around the internetwork some-
  times are not spam to everyone, and these are worthwhile in that one is
  about children's media literacy (1) and the other about media ecosystems

experimenting and playing the children meet the creators of their heros and
discover ways  to use the audiovisual language for their own creations and
constructions.

The third day of AGORA 2002 is dedicated to the Media Summer School Project
which will launch operations in 2004.
