This year also, the Media Literacy Coalition and its members are organizing a series of events to raise media literacy among students, their parents and teachers. In 2020, the Ministry of Culture is an official partner of the campaign, providing information on the events of all art schools under its authority. UNICEF and the Bureau of the European Parliament in Bulgaria support the Days by providing various trainings for students and teachers. The US Embassy Small Grants Program is also in support of the campaign again, this time with funding to create educational games for kids and teens.
