The European MediaCoach Initiative contributed by training media literacy educators across Europe; the process of this initiative is described with details in the book “Media Coach- How to become a media literacy coach”.

The “Media Coach- How to become a media literacy coach” book provides specific information about the project results and achievements. In the chapters of this book, readers can find information on the three-year-long experience in forming 100 media literacy coaches in each of the following countries: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, Portugal, and Romania. Through the book, the partners report on the different experiences of replicating the excellent practice that was first established in the Netherlands by the Nationale Academie Voor Media.

In general, the book constitutes a valuable resource for anyone interested in the European Media Coach Initiative and its achievements. It provides an interesting theoretical and methodological approach to the broader topic of media literacy and specifically to the implementation of the EMCI project. Furthermore, the book adequately discusses all the steps that the partner organisations of the European Media Coach Initiative followed for the development and implementation of training in the respective national contexts.

It also provides an overview of all the obstacles and issues that the partners had to address, the training topics, and the future steps. Moreover, since the book draws on different perspectives regarding the five national contexts, readers can identify the various phases and critical points that led to the success of this project in order to implement the training in their own countries as well.

In conclusion, the EMCI book is intended to inspire others through its various chapters as a valuable contribution to the enrichment of media literacy programs throughout Europe and beyond.
