AMES is a non-profit organisation and charity promoting media education in Scotland.
We were established in 1983 and have continued to campaign, encourage and support media education.
The Media Education Journal (MEJ) is published twice a year with articles and reviews demonstrating the potential of media education.
We also run a conference which allows media educators from all sectors to network, discuss ideas and continue to develop pedagogy, theory and practice.
