- About this member
My name is Vitor Tomé, I am 40 years old and I come from Castelo Branco (Portugal). I have finished my PhD thesis in October 2008 at the University of Lisbon. My thesis is about Media Education and Media Literacy recent tendencies. I am also a professional journalist since 1993 and I have a degree in Education. Presently I am working in two research projects in Portugal: Children and Youth in the News and Media Education in Castelo Branco. Both projects are funded by the Science and Technology Portuguese Foundation and by the European Social Fund. Since 2006 I presented about 30 papers in conferences that took place in several countries like Spain, United States of America, Canada, Japan, Italy, Cyprus, Ireland, The Nederlands, Sweden, France and Portugal. Presently I teach ICT and Media Education at the Polytechnic Institute of Castelo Branco (Portugal). I am a member of Namle (United States), AACE (United States), Cice (UK) and EuroMedia Literacy (European Union).
