What is the civics and media project?

Abstract

The Civics and Media Project examined the following question: How do we ensure we have a well-informed and civically engaged population in 2030? Convened by Victoria University of Wellington, the University of Auckland, NZ On Air, the Royal Society of New Zealand, the McGuinness Institute and the Ministry for Culture and Heritage, three workshops were held in Auckland and Wellington in late 2015. Participants represented media, government, academia, education and the wider community.
