In this informational and interactive session, we’ll explore the close ties between media literacy and civic participation. From fighting disinformation to creating safe spaces for difficult conversations, libraries have an opportunity to cement their role as a vital contributor in community discussions and civic engagement.
Join media literacy experts from Education Development Center, Inc. to discuss the library’s role as a democratizing institution in a polarized culture and how media literacy tools and resources can help facilitate better conversations and promote connection and understanding.
