Media literacy: A critical tool in the battle against Fake News

In an era where information is just a click away, the spread of misinformation is a growing challenge.

Media literacy has become a critical skill, empowering us to critically evaluate the news and content we consume daily.

Coupled with AI’s ability to detect and analyse false information, we can fight back against the flood of fake news.

By questioning sources, verifying facts, and using technology wisely, we can ensure that truth stands strong in the digital age.

Let’s work together to promote responsible sharing and media awareness.

IS MOTHERHOOD AN ASSET?

Are you interested in transversal skills acquired through motherhood and how to use them in the context of the labor market? Would you like to know more about leveraging gender equality through upskilling pathways? We’ve got just the thing!

The MOVE-UP project develops a flexible and quality upskilling pathway for women who are dedicating most of their time and efforts to the role of mother and who are in need to (re)join education activities and the job market.

As the project is approaching its end, we still have one event we’d like to invite you to – our final conference in Porto, that you can also participate in online. The conference will take place on December 3rd 2024, from 10.30 to 17.00h CET.

During the conference, we’ll discuss the MOVE UP project, its results and key take-aways through inputs from our project partners. This will be followed by a panel discussion on Best Practices and Policy Recommendations for Gender Equality in Adult Education and an interactive session discussing the experimentation with the MOVE UP Toolkit for self-assessment and evaluation of competences.

Please find the Registration form (including the Zoom call link) for the MOVE UP final conference here

We look forward to seeing you there!
