The UNESCO Media and Information Literacy Alliance was born in 2013, with the objective of fostering media and information literate societies through international cooperation and partnerships. Seven years after its establishment, we are witnessing an increasing relevance of its mandate, especially during the COVID-19 disinfodemic when the necessity of MIL has become more evident than ever.

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!)
