In a world where media plays a significant role in shaping our lives, it is essential to recognise its potential for promoting positive change. National Positive Media Day is a timely occasion to reflect on its impact.

Media as a powerful influence

Media has an unparalleled ability to reach and influence a vast audience. Whether through television, films, social media, or other digital platforms, media shapes our thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours. It has the power to inspire, motivate, and evoke emotions.

Unfortunately, the prevailing media landscape often leans toward negativity, sensationalism, and harmful stereotypes. However, National Positive Media Day encourages a shift in focus by highlighting the potential of media to foster positivity.

Character development: the building blocks of a better society

Character, often defined as the moral and ethical Qualities that shape an individual's behaviour and decisions, plays a crucial role in building a harmonious and prosperous society.

The cultivation of positive Character Qualities like empathy, resilience, and compassion equips individuals with the skills necessary to navigate life's challenges and contribute positively to their communities.

By promoting and emphasising these Qualities in the media, we can help transform individuals, and consequently, society.

Pioneering positive media education

Entelechy stands at the forefront of integrating positive media education for Character development. Our unique approach goes beyond traditional education by actively encouraging and enabling learners to think critically about the media they consume as they progress through their learning journey.

Promoting positive media creation
