The Media Relate teaching resources have been produced as part of a European e-learning project co-ordinated by David Buckingham and Sara Bragg at the Institute of Education, in partnership with the English and Media Centre. The project drew on research with over 800 young people between 10 and 14 which shows young people’s enthusiasm for learning about personal and sexual issues from the media rather than from parents or school. You can read the report on the research on www.mediarelate.org. A fuller account is contained in Young People, Sex and the Media: The Facts of Life? by David Buckingham and Sara Bragg (Palgrave Macmillan, 2004).
