As the digital landscape evolves, media literacy is increasingly recognized as essential for equipping citizens to navigate this complex environment. For senior citizens, this need is particularly acute, as they often face unique barriers such as unfamiliarity with technology, fear of online scams, and difficulties accessing reliable information. The MELISE: Media Literacy for Senior Citizens in Europe project, part of the Erasmus+ initiative, addresses these challenges by promoting media literacy among older adults across Europe. With partners from Greece, Italy, Portugal, Germany, and Spain, the project aims to develop tailored educational resources, ensuring that older adults can participate fully and safely in the digital world.
