On October 10, 2025, the Adult Education Institution Dante, in cooperation with the Faculty of Health Studies, University of Rijeka, held the second Media Literacy Day session as part of the master’s programme in Public Health. The event gathered 17 participants (the course instructor and 16 healthcare professionals and students) for an interactive workshop exploring how media shape our understanding of health, information, and trust in the digital era.
A key highlight was the “Quest for Clarity” quiz, which challenged participants to recognize misleading media examples and reflect on how misinformation spreads, particularly in the context of health communication. Another popular activity involved comparing real and AI-generated faces, which sparked lively discussion about technology, credibility, and ethics.
According to participant feedback, the event was highly engaging and relevant, with most rating the overall quality as excellent and the tools as very useful for their professional practice. Participants also shared creative ideas for future editions, including fact-checking exercises with AI tools and more interactive sessions.
The workshop demonstrated how media literacy and health literacy intersect, showing that critical thinking and responsible communication are essential competences for healthcare professionals in today’s information-rich world.
