To cultivate and improve media literacy in the digital age, the European Commission has launched an EU-wide survey of best practices. The public consultation was closed on 15 December 2006, and its objective was to identify the existing and possible approaches to media literacy and to provide a description of its emerging trends throughout Europe.
106 submissions were received from 23 EU Member States, as well as from China, Russia and the USA. Some 26% come from civil society, 25% from government and public institutions, 24% from the industry, 18% from individuals, and 7% from the education sector. The Commission will take into account the findings of the public consultation in pursuing its activities in the field of media literacy.
The objective of this questionnaire is to identify existing and possible approaches to media literacy and provide a description of emerging trends in this field throughout Europe.
