MIC MAC is an 18 month European research project that aims to enhance the media and information literacy skills of educators who work with vulnerable learners.
The project is funded by the European Media and Information Fund.
The MIC-MAC course has been created based on comprehensive research activities including lifeworld analysis and a review of existing media and information literacy competence frameworks and training programmes. The research revealed common challenges faced by educators and vulnerable learners in the digital age, emphasising the importance of critical thinking, empathy, and fact-checking skills.
