A European congress of media literacy
Bellaria, Italy, 21-24 October 2009
The first European Congress on Media Literacy brought together people in Media Literacy in Belfast in 2004. Euromeduc is now organising a second congress for further exchange and reflection, addressed to professionals, researchers and other practitioners involved in media education; policy-makers in education and politics; and representatives from the media industry and the European institutions.
The congress will provide an opportunity for exchange in order to address the major issues concerning Media Literacy in Europe, at a time when this field is gaining in appreciation. It will produce education recommendations and suggestions for action.
The congress follows three recently held seminars (in Paris, Brussels and Faro), the proceedings of which are available on line on this site. The results of the seminars and congress will be published in a final publication.
