Subject: Nomination of Media Literacy Expert Group members
Your Excellency,
The European Commission periodically requests the Member States to (re)nominate their
representatives and backups for the Expert Groups. Accordingly, it is time to update the
membership list of the Media Literacy Expert Group (MLEG).
The MLEG’s mission is to discover, bring to light, document and extend good practices in the
field of media literacy, facilitate networking with the aim of cross-fertilisation and explore
synergies between different EU policies and media literacy initiatives.
With the new Multiannual Financial Framework the European Commission’s support for media
literacy is entering a new phase with the introduction of a Media Literacy scheme under the
Creative Europe programme (2021-2027). This new phase will build on work already carried out
in the Member States and adapt to the developing needs for support within the media ecosystem.
Furthermore, as media is quickly developing into a richness of new forms, media literacy also
needs to develop. Media is increasingly more visual, including through the use of virtual and
augmented reality. Media literacy needs to expand to meet these challenges whilst ensuring that
its basic building blocks remain available. The Commission trusts that the Media Literacy Expert
Group will continue to be an important partner in facing these challenges.
We kindly request you to provide us with the names and contact information of two designated
representatives of your Member State, and their back-ups as appropriate.
We would appreciate receiving this information by the 31st of July 2021, in order to update our
membership list for the Media Literacy Expert Group in view of the activities foreseen for the
second half of 2021.
