А series of thematic educational films and media content will be thoroughly presented in this paper. Some of these films have been incurred during regular school classes, while some are a result from extracurricular activities, or are a part of student practice. The educational media content data base is created by the authors of this paper, nevertheless, this paper will also include media content from other authors or educational media productions. The opening of a media educational channel shall enable the establishment of an educational media content register, where teachers would have a clear insight into which unit/theme they would use media content.
