EMELS project involves building partnership of 7 leading organisations from Poland, Belgium, Greece, Germany, UK and Italy, delivering media education training to approx. 1000 youth workers every year. Media education provides knowledge and skills that empower media consumers to critically use the media. Unfortunately, there is very little information exchange and common initiatives among media literacy organizations from Europe. The project brings together international experts to develop a common approach to media education training, learn from each other and exchange experiences. The most important and significant part of the project is preparation of the innovative media literacy training programme: European Media Literacy Standard for Youth Workers. Creation of the Standard will help recognition of skills and qualifications and raise the quality of youth work and training in media education field, improving access to Open Educational Resources in this area. The project will consist of four 2-day transnational project meetings, remote collaborative work on a complete training resources pack as well as 6 multiplier events carried out by partners in their countries. It will start a positive change in the standards of media education in Europe. Thanks to the Standard media, information and digital skills could be more easily recognised and better understood, within and across national borders, in all sub-systems of education and training as well as on the labour market.
