On March 26, 2026, an international seminar titled “Media Literacy and Culture” took place at Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski,” focusing on contemporary challenges related to disinformation and critical thinking in the digital age.
The event was held in the New Conference Hall of the Rectorate and was organized by the Foundation for Entrepreneurship, Culture, and Education in partnership with the Department of History and Theory of Culture. The seminar was part of the international project PPE4InfoDem, funded under the European Commission’s CERV programme.
Participants included representatives from five international organizations based in Italy, Romania, Portugal, Serbia, and Bulgaria. They presented the state of media literacy in their countries, shared best practices, and discussed ways to engage local communities in cultural and civic dialogue.
A central focus of the discussions was the prevalence of disinformation in modern media, strategies for identifying manipulative content, and ways to strengthen public participation in building a resilient media culture.
The seminar was conducted in English, enabling active international exchange and collaboration among participants. The initiative contributed to strengthening partnerships between academia, non-governmental organizations, and local authorities across Europe.
