Strengthening Media and Information Literacy in the Context of Preventing Violent Extremism

A new (September 2024) report Strengthening Media and Information Literacy in the Context of Preventing Violent Extremism and Radicalization that Lead to Terrorism: a focus on South Eastern Europe, published by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.
The report firstly "places the vulnerability to online harms in the context of broader MIL trends and challenges, with a particular focus on P/CVERLT" [preventing/ countering violent extremism and radicalization that lead to terrorism]. It then "analyses how these challenges are impacting SEE" [South Eastern Europe] and discusses different approaches to developing people's MIL to counter disinformation etc. There are some recommendations towards developing a policy/curiculum (but that part isn't really very developed).
It includes a useful overview of initiatives in SEE (links to media literacy institutes, curriculum documents etc.) country by country. Go to https://www.osce.org/secretariat/575970 and this is the direct link to the pdf
