UNDER 30'

Why is media and information literacy important for young people?

Show Notes

Media and information literacy is crucial for a fully-fledged democracy to work. Young people need to understand how to navigate the web and differentiate between truthful and misleading or false information. 

In this episode, we discuss the threat misinformation can pose to young people and how to counter it through critical thinking translated to the digital sphere, that being MIL. 

Guests: Evaldas Rupkus and Meelika Hirmo
Hosts: Ismael Páez Civico and Lana Pasic
