The overarching aim of the REMEDIS project is to develop and evaluate initiatives that foster media literacy and digital skills (ML&DS) to understand what the impacts of ML&DS interventions in different life domains are in terms of positive outcomes.

REMEDIS is an interdisciplinary project with a consortium of six countries (i.e., Belgium, Estonia, Finland, Poland, Spain, and the United Kingdom) who will operate in consultation with media literacy agencies, stakeholders, and policy bodies. Together with the literacy agencies representing different life domains (e.g., education, identity, social relations) the project will propose the improvement of 12 initiatives considered promising for fostering ML&DS in the REMEDIS countries, which will lead to evidence-based policy recommendations and an evaluation toolkit.

The Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ is responsible for participating in all work packages (WPs) and for leading WP5, "Communication and Dissemination". Together with the University of Helsinki (leader of WP1 "Development of quantitative evidence-base"), JYU is working with two Finnish intervention partners,  and their project focused on youth multiliteracy skills, media skills and wellbeing and The Center of Excellence of Ageing and Care at the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ and their qualitative study on an intervention that improves elderly people’s digital skills.
