EAVI is working on Strategic Partnership

Extremist movements are becoming increasingly influential in Europe today. EAVI intends to submit a proposal that entails mainly the production and distribution of an anti-extremist movement interactive website, and production and distribution of an anti-racism mobile application.The project’s focus will be the unravelling, through a media literacy approach, of the mechanics and reasons for their recent success. The main objectives of this initiative are for the user to learn on how today’s media work, but also how they can be used for propagandas and other vicious purposes.The end products resulting from the projects will provide concrete tools to cultivate one’s awareness when using new media, but also to counter racism and denounce the current rise of extremist movements in Europe.

EAVI contributes to AVMSD Public Consultation

This month EAVI has also contributed to the Public consultation about the Audiovisual Media Services Directive 2010/13/EU (AVMSD). Organized by the DG Communication Networks, Content & Technology this consultation aims to see which parts of the AVMSD can be part of the Regulatory Fitness and Performance Programme (REFIT) and to collect valuable insights and recommendations for future policies on media services. In our contribution we express our concern on the absence of media literacy and related concepts within the framework of the consultation.

Although we acknowledge that media literacy is a complex and multifaceted concept that is hard to measure in exact and precise terms, discarding or ignoring it completely cannot be excused. Underlying this sudden absence of media literacy is the media industry’s promotion of mere technical digital skills, the misconception that media literacy is just a matter of education and therefore the EC notions that media literacy, and specifically the (digital) protection of minors, is a matter that should be addressed either on the national level (i.e. by the member states) or on the individual level (by the parents and children themselves).

EAVI feels that it does not seem appropriate to ignore media literacy skills and its underlying properties and that in fact a good EC level media policy could help the commission regain the trust of the European population in general and of youth in particular.

EAVI approaches Key Action 2 of the ERASMUS+ Programme focusing on Building Capacities in the field of youth in Europe and Asia

This year, EAVI wants to bring forces from both Europe and Asia together in an attempt to build
strong capacities amongst youngsters through the provision of different sets of trainings comprised into an interactive platform designed to attract not only students, but also professionals from the fields of youth, media, digital literacy and social innovative entrepreneurship.

We believe that the consortium members will not only gain prestige and increased visibility within the project, but that they will also have the chance to engage with audiences in a direct and very interactive way. The partners will develop new and innovative non-formal educational resources that could strengthen their capacity in reaching out to new target audiences in the future (for example, engaging entrepreneurial role models to coach and mentor the participants via inspiring short video blogs).

Due to its past experience with Lifelong Learning/ERASMUS+ projects, EAVI will coordinate the
project while fostering the timely delivery of its outcomes at high EC standards. EAVI will monitor the project outputs, budget allocations, compile projec, ensure proper visibility, carry out dissemination and project evaluations and of course, organise project team meetings. During the implementation of the project and beyond EAVI will work closely with the EACEA. Last but not least, we will also deliver valuable content to the project such as an interactive Media Literacy training module.

EMEDUS Project

EAVI has started implementing the project EMEDEUS, which it recently won in consortium with seven European partners within the Lifelong Learning Programme. The project offers an innovative approach by aiming to establish the correlations between media education through lifelong learning and media literacy levels. This is the first attempt of this kind undertaken in Europe. We expect it to be extremely valuable, as we aim at offering findings at a comparative level on lifelong media literacy education across Europe.

The project’s findings will be further exploited by the scientific community through the creation of an online resource centre at the media literacy education Observatory. The observatory will serve as a focal European platform to provide and exchange findings on lifelong media education. It will also be used by policymakers, teachers and media providers, who will be able to reach out for scientific findings in the field.
