The European Association for Viewers Interests (EAVI), as a European civil society working on media literacy topics for more than 20 years now, contributes to the WHAT-IF project by bringing its expertise in media literacy, citizen participation, policy engagement, and dissemination. EAVI helps shape discussions on creating a high-quality information environment and the governance of social media. As part of the project, it supports the co-creation of experimental designs, organises workshops, and contributes to policy reports assessing interventions aimed at improving citizens’ political information environments. Additionally, it plays a role in organising focus groups and workshops to test theoretical frameworks and intervention strategies with the public.

Paolo Celot is the Founder and Director of the European Association for Viewers Interests, EAVI – the international organisation based in Brussels that has been working on media literacy and citizenship at a European level for longer than any other organisation active today.

The EAVI is involved in developing policy scenarios (WP6).
