A new funding opportunity for Media Literacy projects is available via the Creative Europe programme. Deadline for applications is March 7 2024.
The funding is targeting collaborative projects that address at least two of the following areas of activities:
- Activities building on, sharing and scaling up best practices from innovative media literacy projects that take into account a changing media ecosystem, especially by crossing cultural, country or linguistic borders and strengthening collaboration between different
regions of Europe. - Developing innovative, interactive online toolkits to provide solutions to existing and future challenges in the online environment, including disinformation.
- Developing materials and toolkits to enable citizens to develop a critical approach to the media, and to recognise and appropriately react to disinformation.
- Develop media literacy practices adapted to the changing media environment including manipulative techniques and AI-based media production.
Media literacy activities eligible for funding include:
- Creation and/or distribution of multilingual and/or multicultural material, including interactive content to improve the digital capacities of citizens and their understanding of the media landscape and their resilience against disinformation.
- Development of materials for citizens and trainers targeting all or any age and societal groups.
- Development of innovative media literacy solutions fit for the future media landscape (the project can include prototypes, but not focus exclusively on IT development).
- Training activities for citizens and educators, including sharing of best practices across linguistic, state and cultural borders.
- Organisation of public events and/or workshops to raise awareness and share best practices.
- Community-led activities to tailor and make accessible the above-mentioned tools and materials.
