Media and Information Literacy

There is a growing ‘infodemically vulnerable’ population in Europe with not enough of the media and information literacy skills needed to distinguish between reliable and scientifically grounded information and unreliable and fake information. Against this background, educators lack the digital and pedagogical competences needed to improve the media and information literacy skills of learners – particularly vulnerable learners.

MIC-MAC’s solution to this problem is to develop, implement and evaluate an innovative approach to delivering media and information literacy competence training for educators and support them to apply their new skills to work with vulnerable learners, so they in turn acquire new media and information literacy skills that can improve their ‘information resilience’.
