Critical digital and media literacy
Digital skills and competences are today increasingly seen as a significant part of basic skills. There are a number of initiatives that aim at conceptualising and defining digital skills and competences. In many cases, however, and especially at policy level, critical thinking and reflection on digital content do not receive the attention that would be necessary to safely guide European citizens through current challenges.
In 2017 the UNESCO Broadband Commission published a report entitled Digital Skills for Life and Work. The report puts forward a set of interconnected skills that make up digital competence, a continuum from basic functional skills to specialist know-how, including critical information literacy, a concept that entails the ability to critically assess information, its purposes and the methods by which it is organised and spread.
In the forthcoming discussion we invite our participants to share their experiences and good practices answering the following questions:
- To what extent is the use of critical information and media literacy present in the current provision of digital skills in your country?
- To what extent are policy makers and other basic skills stakeholders aware of the need to develop critical media literacy among adults with low levels of qualifications?
- What do you think the most important challenges when teaching critical information and media literacy?
- How would you describe the most important factots that constitute a functional level of media literacy?
- Can you describe any initiatives in your professional network that address critical information or media literacy in the realm of digital skills and competence development?
The discussion will be moderated by Graciela Sbertoli, Secretary General of the EBSN and will start 28 August (Wednesday) 12:00 CET and will be concluded 29 August (Thursday) 17:00 CET.
The Capacity Building Series of EBSN provides free open educational resources (OERs) and massive online courses (MOOCs) through EPALE, to help the implementation of the European Commission recommendations on Upskilling pathways in EU Member States. EPALE is funded by the Erasmus+ programme, as part the European Commission’s ongoing commitment to improving the quality of adult learning provision in Europe. The project is implemented with the support of the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).

Yes, they
Yes, they do. They usually combine lectures and meetings with movie creation workshops. People can come to the libraries and learn to create movies using different programs. Through this work, they develop digital skills: text and picture editing, use of digital cameras, uploading/downloading, internet search, etc.). It is quite attractive form to improve digital skills.

Sorry I didn't answer
There is not a common framework in Latvia, identifying the competence goals that learners need to achieve after such training.
These are mostly computer courses for people of the age 50+, who need the basic skills to send an e-mail, pay a bill, etc. They are afraid of new technologies in general because they are so called "digital immigrants".
The development of key competences is also taking place during the Digital Skills Week organized by the Latvian Information and Communication Technology Association (LIKTA) in spring in Latvia together with the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Regional Development (VARAM).

Participants were introduced to the large amount of advertiser sponsored articles in media today, and the need to be able to separate them from editorial media content.
In the March event the practical tasks were mostly focused on improving the skill to separate these two kinds of articles.
