Media Literacy and Political Cartoons in the classroom (for Educators)

The Museum of Australian Democracy is excited to work with The Old Treasury Building to present an online Teacher Professional Development: Media Literacy and Political Cartoons in the classroom.

This online session will provide tips and resources to help you use political cartoons in the classroom to build students’ media literacy skills. Join discussions about how to analyse cartoons with students, and how you can work with students to create their own cartoons as a way to use their voice on issues important to them. With special guest Fiona Katauskas.

Be prepared for an interactive session with activities to spark your thinking and discussions with other educators. Book online to secure your spot.

The Behind the Lines travelling exhibition is on at the Old Treasury Building from 2 March 2026 to 3 May 2026.

‘Behind the Lines’ is a travelling exhibition developed by the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House, and is proudly supported by the National Collecting Institutions Touring and Outreach program, an Australian Government program aiming to improve access to the national collections for all Australians.
