[cma-l] OPEN CALL: Evens Foundation grants for European media literacy projects

[CMA-L]

 The Evens Foundation <http://www.evensfoundation.be/en> aims to stimulate
efforts to increase media literacy in Europe – mainly by raising critical
awareness of the media and by encouraging media creativity. Both of these
contribute to the development of *highly aware, active and responsible
citizens*.

The Foundation subscribes to the European Commission’s view of media
literacy as “an extremely important factor for active citizenship in
today's information society, as literacy was at the beginning of the
twentieth century”. Therefore the Foundation continues to support a
selection of European projects that contribute to raising the media
literacy level of European citizens.

After the great success of its publication ‘Media Literacy in Europe: 12
good practices that will inspire
you<http://evensfoundation.be/en/Media_Literacy_in_Europe_Publication>’,
the Foundation decided to publish a second media literacy magazine in 2015.
Again, they will highlight 12 good European practices that can inspire
others with their work, but this time they will exclusively focus on
projects that actively include parents (and / or grandparents) in their
media educational activities.

The Evens Foundation believes that media education is part of the general
education of children, and thus a responsibility that cannot be entirely
outsourced to schools or (informal) learning organizations. *The scope of
this call*, therefore, includes European media literacy projects that *actively
involve (grand)parents*.

An external jury will select six projects for a grant of €6,000 each. These
projects will also be highlighted in the upcoming publication of good
practices. All presentations should be *submitted before 1 July 2014*.
