Both organisations share the goal of increasing media literacy in Ireland. However, neither EDMO Ireland nor MLI is in a position to deliver training nationwide. Instead, the <em>MLI-certified trainer panel<\/em> will identify individuals with expertise in different aspects of media, provide them with training on media literacy, and support them in delivering media literacy training in their own contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">As part of their certification, trainers commit to completing dedicated training in media literacy provided by EDMO Ireland. In August, EDMO introduced an initial set of key concepts to a group of 15 prospective trainers. This draft resource explored what media literacy is and outlined four key concepts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Media representations are not neutral<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Media owners and funders have agendas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">All media operate in regulatory frameworks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">People experience the same media differently<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">These concepts were framed as tools to encourage critical engagement with all kinds of media, rather than instructions on what to believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Following feedback from the trainers, EDMO Ireland will now create an expanded resource and, importantly, incorporate a fifth key concept on <em>active citizenship and user agency<\/em>. This addition highlights that individuals are not just passive recipients of media but can actively shape and respond to the media environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">By supporting the development of MLI-certified trainers, EDMO Ireland is helping to embed consistent, high-quality approaches to media literacy in communities across Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/edmohub.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025_MLI-Training-Panel4.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of 2025_MLI Training Panel4.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-c75a770f-0ed3-4c1b-b79c-5571f2c55915\" href=\"https:\/\/edmohub.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025_MLI-Training-Panel4.pdf\">2025_MLI Training Panel4<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/edmohub.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025_MLI-Training-Panel4.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-c75a770f-0ed3-4c1b-b79c-5571f2c55915\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EDMO Ireland is providing media literacy training to a panel of trainers from Media Literacy Ireland (MLI).
