The project “Advancing Media Literacy and Democratic Resilience” aims to equip individuals with essential media literacy skills, enabling them to discern and counteract misinformation in an increasingly digital world. Through a series of expert discussions, impactful publications, and targeted training programs, the project fosters a culture of critical thinking and informed engagement.
The project aims to bridge information gaps, cultivate critical thinking, and bolster societal cooperation by empowering individuals with the skills to recognize and counter disinformation. The project emphasizes inclusivity, targeting not only media practitioners and educators but also disadvantaged communities and non-digital natives in hard-to-reach areas in Armenia. Together, we envision fostering a media-literate society that stands resilient against the divisive influence of false narratives.
