​

📢 Assoc. Prof. Dr. Janja Mikulan, head of the Jean Monnet Module EU-GlobalAct and postdoctoral researcher (ARIS), participated as a speaker at the Media Literacy Stakeholder Forum titled "Building Resilience Against Online Fake News, Disinformation, and Misinformation", organized within the MELI RESIST project. 🧠💬📱

In her discussion, Dr. Mikulan emphasized the challenges related to extremist content online and on social media, the importance of understanding the vulnerabilities of children and youth to such content—especially from a trauma-informed perspective—and highlighted the need for intersectoral cooperation. 🔍👥🧒

🎓 The forum featured other outstanding speakers, including Dr. Mateja Rek, Dr. Igor Pesek, Dr. Sonja Merljak Zdovc, and world-renowned media literacy expert Dr. Renee Hobbs. 🌍✨

Based on the forum's insights, a powerful infographic was created, summarizing the key messages of the MELI RESIST project. It is available on the MELI RESIST - FUDŠ.
