Media Literacy Days is a campaign that promotes the need to introduce media literacy into education. Media Literacy Days are organized by The Media Literacy Coalition, started for the first time in 2018. In 2019, the main focus of The Days is the ability to recognize fake news. As in the previous year, however, the campaign will continue to support the introduction of media literacy in education programs. The aim is to ensure the safety of children as well as the development of their critical thinking and creative talents in the digital media world.

Media Literacy Days 2019 will popularize various projects of members of the coalition and will add teenage training for recognizing fake news. Within the Days, young people will be empowered with knowledge and expression to create videos and campaigns against fake news.
