What are the results achieved so far through the implementation of the policy/measure?:
In 2019 twenty-six projects were funded through this Public Call and they showed a real diversity in approaches to the topic of media literacy (from workshops, short films, developing publication materials, organisation of different promotions, educational events etc.) but also in the diversity of applicants (from primary schools, NGOs, professional associations, cultural industries etc.). Although small-scale, this Public Call compliments AEM’s other initiatives in the field of media literacy such as the portal on media literacy available since 2016 (https://www.medijskapismenost.hr/) and the yearly conference Days of Media Literacy that have been developed in cooperation with UNICEF.
