About Us
About InMedia
Disinformation impacts our daily lives. It sparks polarization, it acts to confuse us and it ultimately affects our ability to make informed decisions, with direct consequences for our democratic societies. It poses an even greater threat when it weaponizes our differences to harm those most vulnerable.
InMedia comes in response to these issues by creating an inclusive media literacy program that addresses the needs of youngsters from vulnerable communities and the youth workers who are involved in these communities, with the ultimate purpose of ensuring the transferability of media literacy competencies that they develop.
Because we value inclusion, we set out to empower youth from vulnerable communities to consume and produce media content responsibly. In doing so, they will manage to interact with media content in order to celebrate diversity, rather than allowing it to put an ever deeper wedge between social groups.
Our Purpose
Our Beneficiares
We will be actively working with:
Young People
from communities with lesser access to education (immigrant or refugee communities, ethnic minorities or juvenile ex-offenders, etc.) to develop their media literacy knowledge and competencies, by testing activities from the curriculum we develop, in dedicated workshops;
Youth Workers
who engage with vulnerable youth, in a tailored ToT that addresses the development of their media literacy competencies and inclusive attitudes towards youth who face social-cultural obstacles.
In addition to that, we will facilitate access to the educational resources that result from the project for more than
media and education experts, NGO representatives, and youth workers
interested in media literacy, in ample dissemination events.
Structure and content of the project
InMedia runs across 30 months, starting with May 2021.
The first part of the project will consist of developing a Curriculum on inclusive media and information literacy program for youth workers (IO1). The structure of this curriculum includes 4 modules that approach various media literacy concepts, catered to the identified needs of our vulnerable youth upon ample testing in workshops and adaptation of the final materials.
In the second part of the project, we develop the Methodology and educational materials for youth workers in inclusive media education (IO2), a resource to be used in extensive ToTs with the youth workers that are involved in the vulnerable communities that the project addresses.
All of the materials that result from our activities will be available on our website and on the ERASMUS + PROJECT RESULTS platform, for open access use.
As part of the project, we will also create various types of resources such as educational videos on topics of media literacy, case studies, and interactive online lessons.
