Context

The MEDLIT project, 'Media Literacy for refugee, asylum seeking and migrant women', aimed to contribute to the integration of refugee, asylum seeking and migrant women in six EU Member States with large numbers of refugees, asylum seekers and migrants: Austria, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Malta and the UK. Media literacy is described as facilitating integration by providing access to information about available education, health and other services, political and administrative information on the host country, and support systems and organisations available.

Objectives

The project's objectives were enhancing the media literacy competences of (low-skilled/low-qualified) refugee, asylum seeking and migrant women through innovative learning tools, and encouraging these women to develop and upgrade their media literacy and digital skills through effective outreach and awareness-raising.
