Media Literacy Ireland is an independent association of members committed to the promotion of media literacy across Ireland.
Media literacy is a life-long learning journey and touches on almost every aspect of life as illustrated in the three Core Competencies and skills of the BAI’s Media Literacy Policy.
Our Core Competencies
Understand and critically evaluate broadcast, digital and other media content and services, in order to make informed choices and best manage media use.
Access and use broadcast and digital media content and services in a safe and secure manner, to maximise opportunities and minimise risks.
Create and participate via media, in a responsible, ethical and effective manner, in the creative, cultural and democratic aspects of society.
