About the project

  • MEDIA LITERACY AND DISINFORMATION

     

    FRAMEWORK

    This year’s eTwinning theme focuses on two sides of the same coin: Media literacy, on one side, and how to tackle the phenomenon of disinformation and fake news, on the other. Due to the extreme relevance of this theme – as we all know, during 2020, the first year of the corona pandemic, citizens were exposed to disinformation. In fact, it was one of the major challenges not only for adults but also for students, to acknowledge this phenomenon and know how to grasp it.

    This project aims to promote media literacy and tackle disinformation via many activities: from learning development opportunities to online events and workshops, engaging students, teachers, parents, and stakeholders.

    Media literacy encourages young people to question, evaluate, understand and appreciate their multimedia culture. It teaches them to become active, engaged media consumers and users.
