INCLUDE ME+ uses inclusion through mediation to develop a new education programme and empower higher institution educators, digital media providers, civil society organisations, and students to become responsible and active collaborators in shaping the future of digital media so that it contributes to inclusion, participation, and peace-building across Europe.
INCLUDE ME+ is responding to the NEED to improve digital media literacy and combat the negative impact that it can have within communities. This has been exacerbated by COVID, wartime and natural catastrophes in Europe isolate citizens further and pose a threat to resilience, progress and peace. The Include Me+ project aims to make digital media inclusive!

will create a training programme (OERs) that teaches the use of mediation in media as a civic, inclusive method of reporting to all the stakeholders of the digital content creation: media representatives, HE students as active civic content creators, CSOs.
Documented Stories is an innovative learning and teaching resource that will showcase how mediation can increase civic participation in digital media and motivate media for their peacebuilding role and relevance of their position in support to refugees.
