In the digital age, media literacy is as essential as traditional literacy.

For adults with limited prior exposure to digital tools, understanding how media works, how news spreads, and how to spot misinformation is key to exercising critical and informed citizenship.

The DIGITRAIN project incorporates this competence as a cross-cutting element in its training approach, focusing on:

• Workshops on fact-checking and fake news.

• Critical analysis of digital content.

• Hands-on exercises using real digital media platforms.

• Collaborations with journalists specialized in media education.

These actions not only help participants navigate digital environments more confidently, but also equip them with tools to protect themselves from manipulation, online scams, and information overload.

Media literacy is not a skill reserved for the young — it is a right for all.
