The European Digital Media Observatory (EDMO) has published the EDMO Guidelines for Effective Media Literacy Initiatives.
Consisting of 12 concise Principles and supported by simple, but well-tested Guidelines, this resource has been designed for use by anyone involved in the development of media literacy initiatives, including civil society, educators, policy makers, those in the media or tech industries.
This resource draws on the input and expertise of 100+ practitioners from 50+ countries, including EDMO Ireland and Media Literacy Ireland. It is designed improve the effectiveness of media literacy initiatives throughout their development, delivery, and review phases.
In an area as complex and diverse as media literacy, there can be no one-size-fits-all approach to developing or delivering initiatives. Endorsed by 65 organisations, these principles and guidelines provide a helpful checklist for the media literacy community to use in a way that best suits their own circumstances.
These Principles and Guidelines were developed by the EDMO Working Group over the last 18 months. Acknowledging the role that media literacy has in building resilience to mis- and disinformation, this work is crucial to EDMO’s wider mission.
