The Media Literacy Task Force was established in the framework of the iLEGEND –project, which is a
joint programme between the European Union and the Council of Europe through its North-South
Centre. The aim of the iLEGEND project is to raise awareness about global interdependence and
solidarity through Global Development Education (GDE) and youth cooperation in Europe and beyond.
The overall main objectives of the task force are:
to explore and develop the media literacy dimension of GDE
to promote awareness and knowledge about the media literacy dimension of global education, towards youth workers, educators and decision makers
to improve the impact and outreach of the actions developed by the Youth and Global Education programmes of the North-South Centre .
The task force will work on three main areas, being each area connected to a specific North-South
Centre event/activity and on identifying the final output.
The Media Literacy Task Force consists of six experts: – four experts from member states of the NorthSouth Centre and two experts from Council of Europe member states, having different but complementary expertise in areas related to media and information literacy, digital citizenship, social
media engagement, journalism, education and campaigning.
They will work together for 12 months to advocate, raise awareness and build capacities on media
literacy for GDE.
