Empowering citizenship through media literacy

Media literacy is an essential skill for everyday life. The digital agenda for Europe includes a range of measures to promote increased access to high-speed broadband. However, better access does not in itself ensure that EU citizens make use of broadband network applications. PSM drives the uptake of digital technologies by facilitating universal public access to online tools, supplemented by subtitling or audio description, and the confidence to use them. By bridging the digital divide, PSM promotes empowerment and cultural diversity.
