The Media & Learning Association organised in collaboration with several partners organisations a full week of Media Literacy events! This initiative was part of UNESCO’s Global Media and Information Literacy Week, dedicated to enhancing global media literacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Global Media and Information Literacy Week celebrated worldwide from 24-31 October 2024, culminating in a global conference hosted by UNESCO and the Hashemite Kingdom in Amman, Jordan on 30-31 October. Last year’s theme was\u00a0\u201cThe New Digital Frontiers of Information: Media and Information Literacy for Public Interest Information\u201d<\/em>. It addressed the transformative impact of emerging technologies such as Generative Artificial Intelligence and the new generation of digital content creators on the production and dissemination of public-interest information, highlighting both opportunities and risks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the week, we hosted a series of online sessions and workshops in partnership with organisations such as DW Akademie, European Digital Media Observatory (EDMO), MediaWise – Poynter Institute<\/strong> and Media Education Lab<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Official launch of the EDMO Guidelines for Effective Media Literacy Initiatives, a key resource aimed at elevating media literacy efforts across Europe and beyond. These guidelines, developed by the EDMO Working Group (formerly known as the Standards and Best Practices in Media Literacy)<\/a> with extensive input from EDMO hubs, practitioners, and experts, offer clear and practical principles for both new and ongoing media literacy initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EDMO’s goal is to strengthen public resilience against online misinformation and disinformation by providing best practices that empower, educate, and engage diverse audiences. The guidelines are structured around 12 key principles, organised into sections covering the stages of an initiative: developing, implementing, and reviewing. These principles emphasise the importance of setting clear goals, promoting critical thinking, inclusivity, ethical conduct, adaptability, and robust evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This session begun with a panel discussion featuring members of the EDMO Working Group. It provided an opportunity for the media literacy community to exchange ideas and discuss the application of these principles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
