The Alliance of Civilizations clearinghouse on Media Literacy Education is conceived as an on going project, a constant work-in-progress, a wiki-type data base, a resource compilation and forum for the exchange of ideas and information. It will need of users – the community of knowledge – to constantly update (links to new resources available on-line, listing upcoming events, adding new organizations, etc.) as well as actively publishing articles and participating in the forum discussions.
The “engine” of this Media Literacy Education clearinghouse are the partner organizations, they are dynamically involved in further developing the scope and relevance of this site by updating information, publishing articles, participating in the forums as well encouraging other to do so.
Although the main navigation of this site is in three languages (Arabic, English and Spanish), its repository of information is multilingual. We would like to encourage users to update resources, publish articles, start discussion groups in the forum, etc. in other languages.
If your organization is interested in joining this community of knowledge, please contact us at torrent@un.org
