curricula and the development of initiatives in the field of informal
education and education for disadvantaged groups.

Resulting from in-depth research in 27 European countries, the EMEDUS
project has proposed recommendations to improve media education in each
of those areas. This conference will foster debate among institutions,
experts, industry professionals, schools and the media as well as among
political and regulatory authorities in order to discuss and readjust
recommendations.

The event also pretends to encourage the creation of a collaborative
platform that constitutes the European Chapter of the Global Alliance
Partners in Media and Information Literacy (GAPMIL).
