'''Media Literacy Initiatives''' refers to theory, publications and activities initiated by the [[Future Worlds Center]] team and its partner organizations with the aim of re-inventing the world of media and equipping ordinary people with knowledge and skills to "read" the news and act intelligently. | |||
The initiative started with in the summer of 2012 with [[Using democratic dialogue to reinvent democracy]]. The project included a week long co-laboratory with 11 Greeks and 11 Cypriots who have identified shortcoming of current systems of governance and brainstormed ideal characteristics of future systems. The second project, ([[Youth envisage and design their ideal future (YiA 5.1)|Youth envisage and design their ideal future]]), engaged almost 30 Cypriots to envision and design an ideal system that would satisfy their aspirations and needs. The highlight was a third co-laboratory co-organized together with the [[Digital Futures]] of the European Commission, [[SDDP Reinventing Democracy in the Digital Era]] The aim was to explore how future and emerging technologies can contribute towards designing a better system of governance. | |||
In 2014 [[Future Worlds Center]] secured a [[United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF)]] contract to implement this initiative world-wide. | |||
