On 27 September 2018, ALL DIGITAL, a pan-European network of digital competence centres, and MEP Emilian Pavel, organised a policy debate “Media literacy and digital skills for active citizenship” at the European Parliament. Experts in media literacy and digital skills discussed the role of different stakeholders in supporting all citizens to develop media and digital literacy and the policies, as well as joint efforts, required to foster media literacy. Those taking part reached several common conclusions including their belief that digital technologies should make life better, not disrupt it and that more should be done on the policy level to support and scale up successful initiatives.
