The European Digital Media Observatory (EDMO) has set up national and multinational hubs in Europe to tackle disinformation and one of the core tasks of these hubs is to organise media literacy activities at national or multinational level. This interactive online seminar is part of a series of online events organised by the Media & Learning Association together with EDMO to highlight specific aspects of the media literacy work of these hubs and to identify good practice that can be shared by others engaged in media literacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During this session, the focus will be on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Training, resources and partnerships to promote Media Literacy across the country.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n How EDMO Ireland in partnership with Media Literacy Ireland is planning to develop resources, provide training, and build partnerships with key stakeholders to promote media literacy over the next 15 months.

There they can exchange teaching materials with each other. Mediawijs and M\u00e9dia Animation dived into KlasCement.be and e-classe.be respectively to find out which teaching material about disinformation teachers share with each other, which they use a lot and which they like. This analysis gives us an indication of what kind of educational material is desirable or even what teachers really need.
