Books and audio-visual media should not be seen as opponents but rather as interaction to which young people should be introduced. The mass media offer .educational impulses.: they stimulate imagination, arouse curiosity and the desire to learn more, but what is heard and seen must be supplemented with books.Let us give one practical example: a television programme is announced about developing countries. The teacher or youth group leader draws the attention of the students to it and announces that the programme will be discussed (or preferably the programme is viewed by the group). The young people are then asked to find books in the library on the subject and read about the problem. The television programme arouses interest and puts forward questions.
Books on the subject are read with interest and in the hope of learning more. Another possibility: in a programme, mention is made of appropriate books for supplementing it and the opportunity is announced for participating in a discussion on the subject, to be held on radio or television or in centres for popular education where everyone can take part actively.
Endeavours of this kind have had very positive results.
