Not able to travel to ECC2026 to Brno? We are pleased to invite you to the online post-conference of the ECREA Temporary Working Group (TWG) Media Literacy and Communication Competencies (MLCC), which will take place on 9 October 2026 at 13–17 CET!

The online post-conference provides a space for scholars working on topics related to media literacy and communication competences to share ongoing research, exchange ideas, and strengthen collaboration within the field. It is inclusive, as it is free of charge and does not require any travelling. 

We welcome paper submissions on topics that fall within the scope of the TWG MLCC. We are interested in different European approaches to media literacies and digital literacies among different groups of learners. Papers can deal with policies, pedagogies, didactics or practices, and especially cross-country comparisons are welcome.

If you are interested in joining us, please submit your abstract (150–200 words excl. references) via this online form.

• Submission deadline: 15 May 2026
• Notification of acceptance: 1 June 2026

The keynote speaker will be announced in May.

In order to participate you do not need to be a TWG and an ECREA member. However, we hope that you will become one! Here you can take a look at the instructions regarding how an existing ECREA member can become a member of the TWG – you are basically just one click away.
