Abstract

Disinformation impacts our daily lives. It sparks polarization, it acts to confuse us and
it ultimately affects our ability to make informed decisions, with direct consequences
for our democratic societies. It poses an even greater threat when it weaponizes our
differences to harm those most vulnerable.

InMedia comes in response to these issues by creating an inclusive media literacy
program that addresses the needs of youngsters from vulnerable communities and the
youth workers who are involved in these communities, with the ultimate purpose of
ensuring the transferability of media literacy competencies that they develop.

Because we value inclusion, we set out to empower youth from vulnerable
communities to consume and produce media content responsibly. In doing so, they
will manage to interact with media content in order to celebrate diversity, rather than
allowing it to put an even deeper wedge between social groups.
