Europinion at the European Parliament: Advancing Youth-Centred Media Literacy
Tuesday 8 April 2025, 14.30-16.30 (CET)

On 8 April, Europinion addressed the European Parliament’s Committee on Culture and Education, contributing to a vital discussion on strengthening media literacy in the digital age. Representing our organisation, we highlighted the urgent need to equip young people not only to identify and resist disinformation, but to engage with information as active, critically minded civic actors.

​

Our intervention reaffirmed a central principle of our work: resilience to disinformation must be built with young people, not merely for them. Addressing today’s complex and rapidly evolving information environments requires moving beyond top-down instruction or one-size-fits-all messaging. Instead, meaningful engagement must foreground youth agency, lived experience, and digital realities.

​

In an increasingly polarised and contested geopolitical context, the ability to navigate information critically is not optional—it is essential. Europinion remains firmly committed to advancing this agenda through evidence-led research, on-the-ground collaboration, and sustained partnership with European stakeholders.

​

We are proud to announce that our policy report, Navigating the Information Disorder: European Youth in the Age of Digital Disinformation. The report offers in-depth insights and actionable recommendations for co-creating participatory, scalable, and empowering solutions that place young people at the centre of Europe’s response to the disinformation challenge.
