Belgium-Netherlands Digital Media and Disinformation Observatory – BENEDMO
BENEDMO: how we increase resilience against disinformation
The media literacy efforts of BENEDMO are aimed at increasing the resilience against disinformation for citizens and (media)professionals in Flanders and the Netherlands. An analysis exploring the overlap and potential gaps between essential competences and available resources is the starting point to build towards a media literacy repository. Mimi and Julia will share some examples of resources and training modules which are targeted at several target groups. (Presentation)
