The Role of Media Literacy in the Promotion Of Common Values and Social Inclusion: Position Paper Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: All Digital While we live in an increasingly digital society, a significant number of European citizens continue to lack basic digital skills. Media practices have changed, and now we are not only receiving information passively. Anyone can be active in content creation and (re-)produce (dis)information. For example, mobile technology and ubiquitous Internet access allow citizens to produce real time information, including content for mass media (newspapers, TV channels).The production of information and news thus no longer remains in the capacity of journalists, but something within everyone’s capacity. Without the necessary skills, however, the creation of information and news is not always done in a responsible or professional manner. This is only one example of many, highlighting why media literacy is more important than ever.This position paper talks about:the role for media literacy in promoting common values and social inclusion in several ways: resilience, content creation, dissemination, social inclusionthe role of non-formal education in teaching media literacy andgives examples of media literacy programmes and projects across Europeprovides policy recommendations in terms of funding, recognition and promotion. 
Auditing Educational Equity in Light of the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Guide for Education Unions Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Education International (EI) This Guide is aimed at education unions as they work at local, regional, provincial/state, and/or national level to ensure the equity gaps that have been widened and deepened by the Covid-19 pandemic receive urgent attention and remedy. The purpose of this Guide is to support education unions as they advocate for governments to urgently address the key equity issues that have arisen within education as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The outcomes of an equity audit can enable education institutions and systems to adapt more effectively in a Covid-19 ‘new normal’ and help to undo the structures of inequality that prevent countries from realising the universal right to education. The Guide is not intended to be prescriptive, but rather to provide EI member organisations across regions with an introduction to equity auditing processes within education, and an overview of key questions arising from the ongoing pandemic that need to be addressed through the auditing process.
