Gender stereotypes and biased representations remain deeply embedded across today’s media landscape, influencing public perceptions, shaping social norms, and fueling gender-based disinformation. This session will explore how media literacy can help professionals critically examine these dynamics and empower audiences to recognise, question, and counter harmful narratives.
Featuring practitioner case studies, practical guidelines, and concrete examples from the field, the webinar will highlight effective strategies for identifying gendered misinformation, analysing media portrayals, and promoting more equitable communication practices. Participants will gain actionable tools, insights, and tips to strengthen their own educational or professional work—whether in classrooms, community settings, media organisations, or public institutions.
Target group: Media literacy educators, teachers, librarians, civil society actors, researchers, media professionals, communication experts, policy makers, and all stakeholders interested in gender equality, responsible media representation, and combating disinformation.
Moderator: Chloé Pété, Project Officer, Media & Learning Association.
