Media are playing an increasingly important role in our society. Media are everywhere and their societal impact is significant. ECP-EPN exchanges knowledge to promote the Dutch information society, while mediawijzer.net informs Dutch citizens about media literacy; finding, understanding, and creating media in a society dominated by media.
Dialogic is conducting a needs assessment on media literacy for ECP-EPN. Through the study, Dialogic will map the current state of media literacy among Dutch youth aged 10 to 14 and their parents. Media literacy comprises various components such as media skills and awareness (practical skills, media literacy, responsible use & safety), promoting participation (creating media oneself, actively standing up for rights, and dealing with copyright), and innovation (publishing content online).
By conducting an online survey among 250 young people and 250 parents of young people, as well as engaging in discussions with parents and young people, we will assess how media literate young people and their parents are; how they interact with media; what needs exist concerning media literacy; and the level of awareness about media literacy and various programmes on this topic.
