Information disorder and disinformation in the context of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Digital Media Literacy Basics

The Study on ‘Digital Media Literacy Basics’ explores how the development of basic Digital Media Literacy skills can help empowering citizens to make informed choices about the content they consume, share and create – and by extension help to counter the issue of Disinformation in the Digital Age. It provides practical guidance on how to communicate the principles that underpin Digital Media Literacy – such as the development of critical thinking skills. In addition, provides in-depth practical advice and guidance for educators to illustrate how learning activities can be designed to address the most pressing issues of disinformation in the context of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This study has been done with the support of the Council of Europe and its action Media and information literacy: for human rights and more democracy (MIL), within the framework of the Council of Europe Action Plan for Bosnia and Herzegovina 2018-2021. Action Plan level funding is provided by Luxembourg and Norway.

About the project

BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA:

Media and Information Literacy: for Human Rights and More Democracy Project (2020 – 2022)

The Media and Information Literacy: for Human Rights and More Democracy project will make a contribution to increasing media and information literacy in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in line with Council of Europe and international standards, in particular in regard to the media literacy-related provisions of the Recommendation CM/Rec (2018)1 of the Committee of Ministers to member States on media pluralism and transparency of media ownership.

 

In more concrete terms, the project has two main objectives:

i) first, strengthening BiH key MIL stakeholders’ capacity to understand and contribute to the creation; subsequent implementation; and monitoring and evaluation of a strategic, state-wide MIL framework.

ii) second, increasing awareness of MIL stakeholders of the importance and complexity of MIL in the specific context of BiH; and stakeholders’ capacities to create and promote MIL content.

 

The objectives of the project will be met through two main components planned between 2020 and 2022, namely:

a) Strengthening knowledge, skills and capacities of the CRA to advance European standards for regulation, self-regulation and co-regulation aimed at improving the performance of and trust in the media, including as part of an overall policy and strategic framework for Media and Information Literacy in BiH.

b) Developing research and creating specific MIL content, aimed at enhancing the awareness of MIL stakeholders of the importance and complexity of MIL, in particular in the context of BiH.
