Team Up! is a cross-European project aimed at fostering adults’ digital and Media and Information Literacy (MIL) and producing media and digital tools in Southern Europe. The project includes work with educators, teachers and librarians and is a continuation of our Speak Up! project, with young, newly arrived migrants.

To reach this objective, the first project’s component aims to support educators’, teachers’ and librarians’ critical competencies and skills of media consumption and production, increasing availabilities of Media and Information Literacy (MIL) digital tools for adult education.

The project’s second component focuses on fostering educators, teachers and librarians engagement with their communities within a collaborative dynamic for media production and Civic Media Literacy competencies development.

Finally, the project’s third component aims to increase European transnational collaboration between educators, teachers and librarians on combating discriminations, hate speech and xenophobia through non-formal learning activities contributing to civic engagement and social inclusion.
