EZZEV Foundation (EF),  based in The Netherlands, is a prominent network foundation with a rich history of supporting youngsters and parents in navigating the current hybrid world. Established in 2005, Ezzev has been instrumental in fostering a sense of autonomy, belonging, and achievement among its beneficiaries. The foundation is committed to enhancing media literacy, challenging disinformation, and translating complex research into practical tools and knowledge for its target groups.

Ezzev’s pioneering didactics on countering disinformation have profoundly influenced European Commission publications. The foundation is also well-versed in managing international projects and handling EU grants, reinforcing its reliability and expertise. It has been a significant contributor to numerous European education projects – see below. Moreover, Ezzev maintains robust partnerships with the Polish Fundacja Citizen Project (in the coalition (adT)) and the Dutch Drog group, reinforcing its commitment to international collaboration and mutual learning. This extensive experience and collaborative spirit make Ezzev a trustworthy and effective player in the realm of education and social integration.

Ezzev received the 2015 1st prize INTERNATIONAL PRIZE at the Festival van het Leren for the project WEB2LEARN.

Since 2011 Ezzev was a partner and often (co-)author in the European projects  CDEI (IDentifEYE), Dynamic Identity, IDentifEYE, Talking about Taboos,  Web2learn and ANEMELO. Ezzev supported the Polish projects Dynamiczna Tożsamość, Dynamiczna Tożsamość – warsztat online jako dialog pokoleń and E-Lab Dynamiczna Tozsamosc.
