ECML - European Centre for Media Literacy

The project aimed at creating a European Centre for Media Literacy (ECML) as a non-profit educational organization that helps stakeholders to understand why teaching media literacy is so important and to give students new education tools.

The project mission was to help children and adults prepare for living and learning in a global media culture by translating media literacy research and theory into practical information, training and educational tools for teachers, youth leaders, parents, and caregivers of children.

Results of the project were:

• Report on the State-of-the-art analysis

• Guidelines for media literacy
