This seminar is dedicated to Media and Information Literacy (MIL) for young people. With our expertise and the experience acquired throughout the ReNews project, we want to enable as many people as possible to master key concepts for a responsible digital and social media use. We will also share our tools, resources and knowledge to foster the development of media education in France and Europe.

Various actors directly involved in the ReNews project will intervene: some students will present their digital achievement, while teachers and other professional will share their own experience, lessons learned and recommendations. Several speakers will also adress specific media literacy topics.
