The Erasmus+ K2 BRIDGE project (Information and digital literacy at school. A bridge to support critical thinking and equality values for primary education using children's literature and transmedia), led by the Universitat Jaume I of Castelln, held its first transnational meeting this week on 24 and 25 October. The meeting coincides with the beginning of the World Media and Information Literacy Week 2022, promoted by UNESCO, and with the Libraries Day, which in Spain is commemorated on 24 October, promoted by the Directorate General of Books and Reading Promotion.

BRIDGE's main purpose is to promote information and digital literacy (as well as visual and media literacy) as a vital basis for educating an informed and engaged citizenry to confront misinformation and hate speech, highlighting the relevance of curiosity, empathy, inquiry-based learning and critical thinking from primary education onwards. It is directed by the researcher Dora Sales from the Department of Translation and Communication and the University Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies, and the researcher Francesc Esteve from the Department of Pedagogy and Didactics of Social Sciences, Language and Literature and delegate of the rector for Teaching Transformation, Communication and Cabinet Management.

In order to promote information and digital literacy, it is essential to have adequate training resources, as well as examples of good practice that stimulate teachers and all those involved in training, such as the staff of school and public libraries. BRIDGE therefore involves a transnational cooperation network that seeks to exchange good practices and resources for the joint promotion of information and digital literacy as a way of underpinning education in equality values in primary schools.

The proposal is aimed at children in the approximate middle primary stage (ages 8-11) and aims to harness the educational potential of children's literature (especially picture books) and transmedia resources to raise awareness of equality, diversity and inclusion and global citizenship, and as a gateway to information and digital literacy activities that help foster informed learning guided by enquiry and critical thinking.

Eight organisations from six countries (Universitat Jaume I, Spain; Hacettepe Universitesi and Cankaya Universitesi Vakfi, Turkey; Università degli Studi di Genova, Italy; University of Oulu, Finland; Ionian University, Greece; and InformAll and SP4IL, UK) make up this cooperation and research consortium, which aims to promote information and digital literacy in primary education as a fundamental pillar for the education of democratic citizenship based on critical thinking and values of equality; to develop an open-access, multilingual portal for good practices and useful resources (such as a selection of children's literature and transmedia resources); and the design and development of a training seminar that will provide recommendations and guidance on how to implement information and digital literacy with a special emphasis on promoting values of equality, inclusion and diversity in an integrated and cross-cutting way in the school curriculum.
