EVENS FOUNDATION GRANTS FOR EUROPEAN MEDIA LITERACY PROGRAMS

EVENS FOUNDATION GRANTS FOR EUROPEAN MEDIA LITERACY PROGRAMS
The Evens Foundation continuously aims to stimulate efforts to increase media literacy in Europe – mainly by raising critical awareness and by encouraging media creativity. Both of these contribute to the development of highly aware, active and responsible citizens. Subscribing the view of the European Commission, that considers “(…) media literacy as an extremely important factor for active citizenship in today’s information society, as literacy was at the beginning of the twentieth century”, the Evens Foundation wishes to support a selection of European projects that contribute to raising the media literacy level of European citizens.
