New MEA website up and running

The new MEA website is now up and running on the same address at www.mediaedassociation.org.uk

I'm particularly pleased with the new forum, which looks attractive and easy to use. I hope everyone will be able to join debates and post their ideas. It looks like we are kicking off with the Creative and Media Diploma developments, but I'm sure a whole range of other issues will soon emerge. Please join the forum and make your contribution.

We are delighted to announce this year’s COSMAT CONFERENCE which takes place at the Duke of York’s Cinema on Friday 30 November. It is especially for film and Media A Level students from schools and colleges across Sussex. It is also part of Brighton’s film festival, CineCity.
