The European co-funded project “Advanced Media Literacy Education to counter online hate-speech (AMeLiE)” was recently completed, summarizing two and a half years of demanding and high-quality implementation. AMeLIE received very positive evaluation from the Italian Erasmus+ Managing Authority and scored 96/100. As a result, the project was characterized as a good practice, and will be presented as such on the official Erasmus+ project results platform, since it succeeded in exceeding its objectives in relation to both the horizontal objectives of the European Program, and the specific objectives of the school community which it targeted.
The DAISSy Research Group of the Hellenic Open University (HOU), the Greek project partner, was responsible for the implementation of all AMeLiE activities in Greece, participated in all the intellectual outputs and deliverables, and it was the Leading Partner in the overall Quality Assurance as well as the development and support of the operation of the AMeLiE online educational platform. It is noteworthy, that the majority of the platform’s end-users evaluated it highly positively, considering it to be an easy-to-use tool with very interesting educational content to combat online hate speech, having an attractive structure that favors the exchange of ideas and communication, with well-integrated functions that made them feel confident without much knowledge needed as a pre-requisite in order to use it. They further stated that it is extremely likely to recommend the platform to others, which indicates their satisfaction out of its use and its further development potentials.
