ERMIScom is set to close gaps in the current educational framework for New Media, which misses the experiential basis of non-formal, collaborative learning methods, in order to achieve a holistic education that can render the new generations of media professionals agents of social innovation and a social economy.

The ERMIScom partnership aspires that the project will contribute to better informed and sensitized citizens, who are more likely to trigger a positive feedback loop of improved media reporting and representation practices, resulting in higher public awareness and strengthened democratic control for more effective integration policies.

Partners are expected to carry the impact of the project forward through their engagement in a long-lasting consortium aimed at the development of a Joint Master (EMJM), as well as other follow-up European projects.
