MEDIA LITERACY AND INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUE<br />

attention of the European Commission for two undisputed reasons: a) they<br />
enable citizens throughout their lives to actively engage with a society in which<br />
they live; b) they are competent and prove helpful in the globalised and<br />
constantly changing world of work.<br />
Competences are defined as a “combination of knowledge, skills and attitudes<br />
appropriate to the context. Key competences are those which all individuals<br />
need for personal fulfillment and development, active citizenship, social<br />
inclusion and employment” (European Reference Framework, 2007:5).<br />
In order to achieve Whole Education for 21st century citizens, the Catalan<br />
Government, following the guidelines from the Spanish one, which adhered to<br />
the quoted studies referenced in the introduction, broke down learning into eight<br />
key competences 1 . The following chart shows a comparison between the eight<br />
key competences described by both the European Commission and the Catalan<br />
Government. They are divided into three sections according to their aim within<br />
the Catalan curriculum: communicative, methodological and personal and<br />
inhabiting the world.<br />

1 In this paper we chose to study in depth Media Literacy education exclusively in Catalonia for<br />
three reasons. The first one, because it is the context where we work directly and where the<br />
proposal we have designed, and will be put forward later on, has been implemented. The<br />
second reason is that the Department of Education has shown quite an interest in Media<br />
Literacy since the 1980s and has undertaken several projects to encourage its broadcasting.<br />
They can be seen at: http://www.xteccat/audiovisuals. The third reason is that Catalonia is the<br />
only autonomous community in Spain which deals with the Audiovisual competence within its<br />
competences.<br />
