Renee Hobbs participates in a panel discussion exploring how peace building, human solidarity and war are all
linked to the quality of the information environment and the values it
transmits. The new wave of extremism and gruesome terrorists’ attacks
which persists in many regions of the world and more recently in Europe,
and the unprecedented migration to Europe, underline the importance
of media and information literacy competencies for the information
environment. Media and information literacy empowers citizens with
knowledge, skills and attitude to critically access information and
media, to critically analyze information and media content, and to
engage with media and other information providers for social, civic and
creative purposes.
