We are pleased to present the latest episode of our podcast series, “Conversas com…,” featuring an insightful discussion on media literacy and elections with Patrícia Blanco, Executive President of Instituto Palavra Aberta, a nonprofit organisation based in Brazil.

In this episode, we explore the critical role of media literacy in the electoral process and how informed media consumption can enhance democratic participation. Patrícia Blanco shares her expertise on fostering an informed and engaged society. Patricia also shared some of their actions around this topic, specifically about the project #FakeToFora. A project by Instituto Palavra Aberta through EducaMídia, supported by various institutions, offering modular training and a methodology for students to form fact-checking clubs to practice critical information analysis.

Instituto Palavra Aberta and Educamídia are our partners in promoting media literacy education with the YouNDigital project. This collaboration underscores our shared commitment to advancing media literacy as a cornerstone of civic culture. We invite you to watch the full episode and join the conversation on the intersection of media literacy and democratic engagement.
