Landesfachverband Medienbildung Brandenburg E.v.

What Landesfachverband Medienbildung Brandenburg E.v. does

Landesfachverband Medienbildung Brandenburg e.V. (lmb) is a non-profit registered association (eingetragener Verein) founded in 1997 in Potsdam, Germany, operating as the state-wide professional association (Landesfachverband) for media education in Brandenburg. Its core mission is strengthening media competence among pedagogical professionals in child and youth work, connecting pedagogical practice, science, politics, and administration. Since 2005, the organization has coordinated the JIM-Netzwerk, a network of nine certified Youth Information and Media Centers across the state.

The organization's product and service portfolio is structured as an integrated ecosystem. Core programs include the annual Medienpädagogische Zusatzqualifikation (MPZQ) certification co-issued with the Sozialpädagogisches Fortbildungsinstitut Berlin Brandenburg, the new 2026 Medienpädagogische Masterclass (MPMC), the Fachstelle Medienbildung (state-funded advisory center launched April 2026), the jumblr rural youth media education project, and biennial JIM Filmfestival. Supporting digital infrastructure includes the jumblr-Tours App (gamification platform built on espoto's technology), the Klub App-based JugendApp for digital youth participation (co-developed with Klub44 gGmbH, deployed across nine municipalities), the medienbildung-jetzt.de online training portal, and a Medienboxen lending library covering robotics, music, video, audio, VR/AR, events, and gaming.

Revenue mechanics are grant-driven rather than commercial. Primary funding comes from the Brandenburg Ministry for Education, Youth and Sport (MBJS) for the Fachstelle Medienbildung and ongoing programs, plus federal funding from the BMFSFJ through the "Demokratie leben!" program for the JugendApp project. The association also collects membership fees from member organizations and provides most services free of charge to pedagogical professionals, with Medienboxen lent at shipping cost only. Pricing models are essentially freemium for end users (youth workers, schools, municipalities) and managed services for funder relationships.

Others

• ijab – Fachstelle für Internationale Jugendarbeit der Bundesrepublik Deutschland: Federal competence center for international youth work. Adjacent in target audience (youth work professionals) and funding ecosystem (BMFSFJ) but focuses on international mobility rather than media education specifically.
• klicksafe: EU co-funded German awareness initiative on internet safety and media competence for young people and pedagogical professionals. Shares target groups and thematic overlap (media literacy, online safety) with lmb's jumblr and Fachstelle offerings, but is a national campaign rather than a Fachverband.
• Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Kinder- und Jugendhilfe (AGJ): Federal association for child and youth welfare in Germany, convening member organizations and shaping policy in out-of-school youth work. Adjacent to lmb at the policy and coordination layer relevant to JIM-Netzwerk partner organizations.

Broad incumbents

• Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung (BpB): Federal agency for political education funding nationwide programs in democracy and media literacy, including the 'Demokratie leben!' program from which lmb draws funding. Operates at a much larger scale and is both a funding source and a potential competitive force in the same thematic space.

Regional players

• Bayerische Landeszentrale für neue Medien (BLM): Bavaria's state media authority with media literacy programming analogous to mabb's role in Brandenburg. Comparable as a regional incumbent that funds and coordinates media education activities in its federal state, providing a model for state-level media education ecosystems.
• Medienanstalt Berlin-Brandenburg (mabb): The regional media authority for Berlin-Brandenburg, co-organizing the annual Netzwerktagung with lmb and administering media education prizes. Operates in the same geography as lmb and shares overlapping goals around media literacy, but as a regulator/funding body rather than a Fachverband.

Direct peers

• JFF – Institut für Medienpädagogik in Forschung und Praxis: Munich-based institute for media education research and practice. Like lmb, JFF combines practitioner qualification, project development, and youth media work, and is a direct functional peer for out-of-school media education services in Germany.
• GMK – Gesellschaft für Medienpädagogik und Kommunikationskultur e.V. Germany's national professional association for media education and communication culture, comparable to lmb but operating at federal rather than state level. GMK runs analogous qualification programs, conferences, and publishing activities, and is the closest peer in mission, structure, and product mix.
• Blickwechsel e.V. – Verein für Medien- und Kulturpädagogik: Registered association for media and cultural pedagogy offering qualification programs, project consulting, and events for pedagogical professionals. Operates as a peer Fachverband in a similar service niche to lmb.
• bits 21 – Berliner Institut für technologisch-soziale Gestaltung: Berlin-based non-profit focused on digital education and youth media competence, with overlapping product areas including online learning modules, teacher training, and youth participation formats. Geographic proximity to Brandenburg and shared target audience (pedagogical professionals, youth) make it a close functional peer.
