This year, a jury of experts from six European countries, consisting of scientists, specialists and educational practitioners, evaluated more than 200 educational media. The Teachtoday initiative impressed the jury with its outstanding didactic and media quality and won awards in the categories "IT, Communication and Media Education" and "General Multimedia Products.

The initiatives include the Toolbox, which offers more than 100 formats to promote media and democratic skills among young people, and the children's magazine SCROLLER. The magazine has been published since 2021 as an interactive format and teaches children aged nine to twelve media skills at eye level. Special attention is paid to the accessibility of the multimedia elements and the integration of a read-aloud function.
