The European Commission will make 3 million euros available for media literacy projects, proposals for which can be submitted until March 11, 2026, as announced today.
The objective is to support “projects that aim to reinforce people’s awareness and skills in navigating social media and the online world. The ability of citizens to critically evaluate the content they interact with and to make informed decisions is crucial to containing the spread of disinformation”, explains the Commission, in a statement.
These projects “must be innovative, can work both ‘online’ and ‘offline’, must make media literacy more engaging and must help media literacy professionals adapt to new formats and consumption trends”.
The period for submitting proposals is open until March 11th of next year, being part of the Creative Europe Program.
