During Belgium’s EU presidency, Media Literacy Matters brought the many aspects of digital and media literacy into the European spotlight. This European digital and media literacy conference took place from February 27th to March 1st, 2024, in Brussels.
More specifically, the conference provided opportunities to:
- meet and connect with professionals involved in digital and media literacy initiatives, policy and research from around the EU and from all policy levels,
- showcase and exchange digital and media literacy initiatives, tools, projects and practices that can be integrated in one’s own work or policy,
- strengthen European cooperation on digital and media literacy. The conference involved 399 professionals from 43 countries who came together during 4 days and who had the opportunity to participate in 49 enriching sessions that focussed on a variety of different media literacy topics, all of which could be categorised within three broader themes:
- From disinformation to critical trust: when digital and media literacy works.
- From schools and children to digital and media literacy for all.
- Moving forward: from future technology challenges to the future of digital and media literacy.
Media Literacy Matters was organised under the auspices of the Belgian presidency of the Council of the European Union 2024 as part of the European digital and media literacy conference week
