The Common Language Project offers media literacy and production workshops in a variety of educational settings throughout the United States and Canada. Our curriculum varies according to educational level, and can be custom tailored to specific classroom needs.

For middle school and high school classes we cover basic media literacy, discussing the role of independent media in society and issues of diversity and ownership in media. We also offer trainings on basic multimedia production. We also offer trainings specific to our reporting. Check out the Water Wars Global Gateway site - an interactive portal where students can not only read, listen to and view stories, but also interact with journalists and fellow students in the US and in Nairobi, Kenya, created in partnership with the Pulitzer Center On Crisis Reporting.

For undergraduate and graduate courses we cover multimedia production, the nuts and bolts of international reporting and web-publishing, and career development in independent media.
