Ponder is an informal education programme, aiming improvement of critical thinking skills, especially with regard to information and messages that adolescents and youth receive from social and traditional media. As media exposure has never been higher critical media literacy is imperative not only for the wellbeing of individuals themselves but also for the peace building, public safety and participatory democracy. Critical media literacy, in the perspective of our programme, is a non-formal response that expands the notion of literacy to include different forms of mass communication and new technologies while deepening the potential of critical thinking to analyze relationships between media, audiences and information.
