Policewomen on media literacy education

13 policewomen, members of the "Policewomen's Network" Association, attended workshops on "Media Literacy", which were held 9- 12 February,2021 organized by the Association of BH Journalists.

The workshops were organized within the project "Free Media for a Free Society", which is financially supported by the European Union. The coach was Vuk Vucetic, media literacy expert.

It was pointed out at the workshop that the media are a very important item not only in informing citizens about the work of civil society organizations, but also as a "technology" that cannot be used irresponsibly to spread "fake" content, hate speech on social networks, misuse of personal data and use of copyrighted works without permission. In order to cope better with the new reality, it is necessary for citizens to have competencies and skills, to know the techniques of verifying the authenticity of sources. It is necessary for them to learn to seek, evaluate, use, create and place information in order to achieve personal, social and professional goals.
