Landesfachverband Medienbildung Brandenburg

The Landesfachverband Medienbildung Brandenburg e.V. (lmb) is a central organization dedicated to promoting and strengthening media literacy in Brandenburg. Founded with the goal of establishing media education offerings and expertise in the state, the lmb works closely with educational practice, science, politics, and administration.

• Training and Continuing Education: The lmb offers practice-oriented and target group-specific training and continuing education programs for educational professionals in youth work, schools, and residential care. These programs cover media education issues and topics of digital education[1][3].
• Networking and Consulting: The association connects actors in media education and provides consulting services for public and private youth welfare organizations. It supports the conceptual further development of media education offerings[1][3].
• Youth Information and Media Centers (JIM): The lmb coordinates the network of JIM, a group of extracurricular youth leisure facilities with a media education profile. These centers offer model and significant media education learning processes for young people[1][2].
• Online Training Portal: The portal "Medienbildung jetzt" offers educational professionals self-learning modules on media education topics and digital education[3].

The main mission of the lmb is to strengthen the media literacy of professionals working with children and adolescents. The association understands media education as a cross-sectional task for society as a whole and works based on current scientific findings. It advocates for equal access and inclusive media education offerings and defends the interests of young people and its members in dialogue with professional politics and administration[1][3].

• Media Education Expertise: The lmb works to establish and strengthen media education expertise in the state. This is achieved through the qualification and networking of professionals as well as support for youth and educational institutions[1][3].
• State Initiative "Media Competence Strengthens Brandenburg": The association is an implementation partner of this initiative and contributes to developing and implementing media education measures and projects that promote media competence in Brandenburg[2][3].
• Framework Agreement with the Ministry of Education: Since 2004, there has been a framework agreement with the Ministry of Education that regulates cooperation between schools and extracurricular media education partners and forms the basis for comprehensive media education training programs and the JIM network[1].

The Landesfachverband Medienbildung Brandenburg e.V. is thus a central actor in the media education landscape of Brandenburg, contributing through its diverse offerings and initiatives to make media education a natural part of youth work and education.
