Evens Foundation

The Evens Foundation is a public benefit foundation based in Antwerp, Belgium and with offices in Paris and Warsaw. It has the ambition to contribute to the construction of Europe by means of concrete projects, appropriate to reinforce the social cohesion between citizens of the European Union. To promote harmonious living together, the Evens Foundation aims to stimulate efforts to increase media literacy – by raising critical awareness, which implies comprehension and cultural awareness, and by encouraging media creativity, both of which contribute to the development of highly aware, active and responsible citizens. According to the European Commission, media literacy “should help citizens to recognize how the media filter their perceptions and beliefs, shape popular culture and influence personal choices.”
