UNESCO General Conference endorses Media and Information Literacy resolution: an international step forward! | Information Literacy Weblog | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

UNESCO is the social/educational arm of the United Nations. Member states are now being encouraged to endorse this at a national level (so, the lobbying needs to continue!)
