IN EDU is a 36-month project run by seven European partners based in Italy, Bulgaria, France, Croatia and Slovenia. It focuses on developing good practice in media literacy and critical thinking education via inclusive, non-formal learning programmes which combine training and events at community level. The main aim of the project is to reinforce media literacy and critical thinking among students.

The IN-EDU engagement programme does this through interactive activities at local level that encourage action and participation from teachers, parents and families, and other stakeholders –increasing their awareness, knowledge and competences on the subject. These activities include traning, civic hackathons and an international student camp. By working at local level the project intends to have an impact on the wider communities and play a part in preventing marginalization and countering inequality.
