In a time when news, ads, memes, and propaganda all arrive on the same glowing rectangles, media literacy is no longer optional—it’s a survival skill for thinking clearly and acting responsibly. Media literacy means being able to access, analyse, evaluate, and create media with judgement, so we can tell who is speaking, why they’re speaking, and whether their message deserves our trust.
This project treats media literacy as everyday self‑defence and collective care: learning to spot bias and manipulation, understanding how algorithms shape what we see, and practising critical thinking so we don’t become passive repeaters of whatever scrolls past our eyes. It looks at how young people and adults can build these skills together—fact‑checking, comparing sources, and turning confusion into informed conversation that strengthens communities rather than dividing them.
