The main tasks of the Media Council are to classify films, to advise children and their parents on the use of computer games – and, in the role of national Awareness Centre, to provide information and disseminate knowledge and materials about children and young people’s use of digital media.
The Media Council was established by the Ministry of Culture in 1997 and falls under the Danish Film Institute.
