Media Literacy in Europe | Controversies, Challenges and Perspectives The three preparatory EuroMeduc seminars and the European Congress which took place in Bellaria (Italy) from 21st to 24th October 2009, emphasised the wealth, diversity and vitality of media literacy in Europe. They also enabled hundreds of researchers and practitioners to network, while bringing together the media industry and policy-makers. Thanks to contributions from a large panel of experts, the present published piece provides an account of this work, and the recommendations they have come up with. Approaches, at times dissimilar, yet always complementary, were uncovered, emphasising the need for this issue to be adapted continuously to the rapid evolution within the media and within societies.
