How Finland deals with misinformation and media manipulation through the education system and why the Finish experience is considered successful?

 

Today we live in a time when being a media literate is essential for everyone. In war situations, media literacy behavior is more than important and that is possible only through studying media literacy skills and tools. International experience shows that societies which start studying media literacy at an early age are more protected. Finland, which has adopted one of the best approaches to study media literacy by developing a state policy on media literacy, is considered a leader in this field.

On October 16, at 15:00, the Public Journalism Club will hold a webinar entitled “Systematic media literacy through participatory policy development – Sharing Finnish examples” led by Finnish media expert Lauri Palsa.

Lauri Palsa is a Senior advisor in the National Audiovisual Institute, KAVI, in Finland.

The participants will be provided the opportunity to learn and gain knowledge about the meaning and methods of collaborative and multi-stakeholder policy development based on the insights of the Finnish media literacy policy revision and the results of the studies focusing Finnish curricular framework.

Simultaneous Armenian translation will be provided during the webinar, please register in advance by following the link․
