Abstract	In this globalized environment, teachers of the future must be able to understand and correctly evaluate messages from various sources of media. In this context, the study intends to improve prospective teachers' media literacy knowledge, attitudes, and skills, as well as raise their awareness of media literacy. The data were collected through applications submitted to the European Union (EU) Project at a public university during the academic year of 2021-2022. In the study, the action research methodology was utilized. The research group comprises of 160 aspiring teachers from six different departments within the faculty of education. Prospective teachers were provided with a training during the research. The data were collected using media literacy level determination scale, student activity sheets, researcher observations, and individual interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed via the statistical analysis Anova method. The content analysis method was used to study the qualitative data. There is a difference between pre-service teachers' initial levels and their levels towards the end of their course, according to the findings of the study. Prospective teachers have gained awareness about media literacy. They've learned about the subjects and abilities that make up media literacy's content. It has been determined that by researching the media, students will utilize it more cautiously, begin to criticize it, and become more conscious of the media's individual and social implications.
