**description:** Expected Impact:
The call will result in:
• creating or scaling up cross-border collaborations to deliver projects that implement best practices across national, cultural and linguistic borders;
• developing and deploying media literacy tools and initiatives, taking into account the needs of specific target groups, including but not limited to groups with limited media literacy skills or access;
• assisting media literacy professionals in adapting their practices to rapidly evolving media formats and changing media consumption patterns.
 Objective:
The call will support innovative cross-border media literacy projects and practices across Europe among various population segments, addressing the challenges of a continuously changing digital media landscape.
Scope:
Support is foreseen for collaborative projects with clearly defined objectives to advance media literacy, addressing the following priorities:
• Provide solutions that enable citizens to develop a critical approach to the media, and to recognise and appropriately react to disinformation, information manipulation techniques, and other challenges in the online media environment.
• Build on and scale up best practices from innovative media literacy projects that take into account a changing media ecosystem, crossing cultural, national or linguistic borders, and strengthening collaboration between different regions of Europe. Innovative approaches may include novel or original ideas, methods, tools, or modes of implementation, whether online or offline.
• Consider the role of media literacy for citizen inclusiveness, civic engagement and societal resilience, including resilience against attempts to interfere with citizens’ free choice and participation in democratic processes.
