As part of the European funded EDUmake project, VRT’s successful educational format EDUbox is now replicated by partners in Croatia and the Netherlands. Through its high-quality audiovisual content and interactive engagement strategies, EDUbox aims to engage youngsters in societal themes. Media literacy is a key competence where EDUbox can make a difference. By contextualizing the boxes in Europe, VRT can spearhead educational impact with its rich archive on a European scale. 

The programme Het Hoge Noorden (Hello Norway) is scoring incredibly well in the Netherlands. It is currently broadcast on NPO1 and watched by more than 1.5 million Dutch people every week. After the Flemish success of the format, which was developed by Annemie Struyf and director Kristel Waterloos at VRT, it is now enjoyed beyond country borders.

Disinformation is more than just a buzzword, it is a major challenge nowadays - for media users as well as media makers. In this context, VRT's mission is more important than ever and works on various initiatives, from factcheck formats to international collaborations.

At the MIPTV television fair in Cannes, the Belgian series 1985 was sold to as many as eight different countries, from France to Australia.

The partnership should lead to the creation and exchange of programmes, sharing of technology and innovations, such as the joint production of educational material, as well as strategic research and the development of techniques to detect (and combat) disinformation.
