Global Media and Information Literacy Week

🌍 Global Media 🤳 and Information 📖 Literacy Week, commemorated annually, is a major occasion for stakeholders to review and celebrate the progress achieved towards “Media and Information Literacy for All”.

🤓 The Global Media and Information Literacy (MIL) Week began in 2012 and is led by UNESCO in cooperation with the UNESCO MIL Alliance, the UNESCO-UNAMOC MIL and Intercultural Dialogue (MILID) University Network and other partners.
