TOMMI is fun, teaches media literacy, and promotes participation.
KiKA editor and media educator Anne Reichenbach:
"TOMMI also gives smaller games a platform and lets children decide for themselves what they really like. Testing and evaluating the games together is fun, strengthens their media literacy, and shows them that they can actively shape the digital world."
TOMMI: Media literacy and child protection in a protected space.
TOMMI initiator Thomas Feibel:
When children test games and educational offerings in public libraries at TOMMI, they are doing much more than just "playing." As today's most important mediators of media literacy, trained staff also educate them about the risks and dangers of gaming. No other educational institution does this as consistently.
