Citizens’ ability to critically assess the content they interact with and make well-informed decisions is a crucial part in curbing the spread of disinformation.
These projects must be innovative, can work both online or offline, should make media literacy more engaging and should help media literacy professionals adapt to new formats and consumption trends.
The call for proposals, open until 11 March 2026, is part of the Creative Europe Programme and invites partners from different countries participating in the programme to develop projects aiming to build societal resilience against disinformation and information manipulation.
Building societal resilience, supporting media literacy and independent journalism is part of the wider Commission’s effort to empower Europeans to make informed decisions and to participate actively in democratic processes. It will also be a central part of the upcoming European Democracy Shield, as announced in the 2025 State of the Union Address by President von der Leyen.
