to civic engagement and
sustainable development and
equally relevant in all forms;
(2) every citizen is a creator of
information/knowledge;
(3) information/media messages
are not always value neutral
and truth should be made
understandable;
(4) every citizen has a right to
access and understand new
information, knowledge,
messages;
