The overall goal of Media Literacy in the Baltics program is to help people of the Baltic states to be better able to engage critically with multiple forms of media. The program works with universities and youth, using IREX's Learn to Discern methodology in media literacy.

The Media Literacy in the Baltics program provides curriculum, tools, and training for the public in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania to engage critically with multiple forms of information, both on and offline. The program supports future media and other professionals to provide audiences with quality journalism and heightened awareness of disinformation, builds capacity in the Baltics for spreading skills and behaviors for critical information engagement among the wider population, and supports students’ initiatives to raise awareness of disinformation and how to combat it.
