16. Adult Education as a Means to Enable Polish Citizens to Question Media Coverage of Political Messages

n the final chapter of this section (Ch16), ‘Adult Education as a Means to Enable Polish Citizens to Question Media Coverage of Political Messages’, Marta Zientek draws attention to the processes that underpin the formation of a national identity. Poland is undergoing a period of instability and unrest, its people unable to challenge political groups effectively as they lack a platform from which to confront rhetoric. Marta is helping adult students to find ways to engage discursively and to work around the political messages that hold the country in thrall, through a course in communication. Here we get a glimpse of a project still unfolding in turbulent times.
