About MEDEA
The MEDEA Awards were launched in November 2007 and were an immediate success with submissions sent in from across Europe and beyond. Over the years, several new awards have been introduced, recognising and rewarding different aspects of the field of media in education and its importance in a European context. Since 2010 the MEDEA Awards are also integrated in the Media & Learning Conference, a conference bringing together practitioners and policymakers and highlighting the latest developments, services and digital and media competences in education and training. Previously supported by the European Commission, the MEDEA Awards are now supported by the Media & Learning Association.
For years, the MEDEA Awards have driven innovation and excellence in the educational use of media. They serve to recognise exceptional production quality, pedagogical impact, and creative design, celebrating individuals and teams who inspire and advance the global educational community.
Key Dates to Remember:
- Submission Deadline: 28 February 2025
- Finalists Announcement: March 2025
- Awards Ceremony: 18-19 June 2025, during the Media & Learning Conference in Leuven, Belgium
Finalists will enjoy a spotlight at the Media & Learning Conference, with their entries featured prominently in the program and in the association’s newsletter. Winners will be revealed during the highly anticipated Awards Ceremony at the conference.
