"International Experience in Implementing Media Literacy"

Webinar for Ukrainian Women Abroad

In the digital age, one of the essential skills for everyone is media literacy - the ability to critically evaluate information and distinguish true facts from fakes. Measuring media literacy is challenging because it is influenced by numerous factors: education, age, digital skills, sources of daily media consumption, and more. Even income level can indirectly affect media literacy.

Furthermore, the level of media literacy is very dynamic: during extraordinary events (such as the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic or the full-scale invasion of Russia), the conditional indicator of media literacy drops because there is an overwhelming amount of information and sources. However, as people adapt to these conditions, the level of media literacy can improve. This is evident: under stress, we cannot make rational decisions, including decisions about which information to consume.

The Association of Innovative and Digital Education, NGO "Detector Media," with the support of The National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI), invites you to the webinar for Ukrainian women abroad "International Experience in Implementing Media Literacy." You will learn about the steps necessary to improve your information security.
