As part of the UNESCO Global Media and Information Literacy Week, the European Digital Media Observatory will officially launch the EDMO Guidelines for Effective Media Literacy Initiatives, a key resource aimed at elevating media literacy efforts across Europe and beyond.

These guidelines, developed by the EDMO Working Group with extensive input from EDMO hubs, practitioners, and experts, offer clear and practical principles for both new and ongoing media literacy initiatives.

Monday, 21 October, 14:00 – 15:30 CEST | Online

EDMO’s goal is to strengthen public resilience against online misinformation and disinformation by providing best practices that empower, educate, and engage diverse audiences. The guidelines are structured around 12 key principles, organised into sections covering the stages of an initiative: developing, implementing, and reviewing. These principles emphasise the importance of setting clear goals, promoting critical thinking, inclusivity, ethical conduct, adaptability, and robust evaluation.

This session will begin with a panel discussion featuring members of the EDMO Working Group. It will also provide an opportunity for the media literacy community to exchange ideas and discuss the application of these principles. Attendees will have the chance to ask questions and engage in meaningful dialogue about the guidelines and their impact.
