MILID Yearbook 2016

Media and Information Literacy: Reinforcing Human Rights, Countering Radicalization and Extremism - The increasingly complex media and information landscape, which has a primary role in our everyday lives, is rapidly changing. It is constantly altering how we communicate, enabling and challenging human rights, freedom of expression, universal access to information, peace building, sustainable development, and intercultural dialogue.

Opportunities for Media and Information Literacy in the Middle East and North Africa Yearbook 2016

Opportunities for Media and Information Literacy in the Middle East and North Africa is the seventeenth Yearbook published by the Clearinghouse and fills a gap in the existing body of literature about the progress of media and information literacy work in different parts of the world. We believe it is of particular interest to shed light on a region, the MENA region, where young citizens’ engagement with media has been in focus in news reporting all over the world in recent years and awareness of MIL competencies is gaining ground.
