NML often gets invited to speak at conferences that are focused on topics like media education, media literacy, education technology, and curriculum development.  What excited me about the How to Stimulate Film Sense(s) conference (besides the chance to check out Dutch thrift stores) was that the organizers were drawing a direct relationship between media education and artists.  It is no easy task to map the history, norms, and practices of one discipline onto another - it's much easier to think about art and education as separate worlds whose inhabitants are motivated by different goals.
