Media and Information Literacy Seminar 2024

The UNESCO Chair on Cyberspace and Culture and the University of Tehran are organizing the 2024 Media and Information Literacy Seminar with the main theme of “The New Digital Frontiers of Information” and the subject of “Recognizing and Distinguishing between National and Global Data Demarcations” on Monday, 28 October 2024.

The Seventh Media and Information Literacy (MIL) Seminar commemorates the 13th Global Media and Information Literacy Week 2024 (24 – 31 Oct), highlighting the 14th Media and Information Literacy and Intercultural Dialogue Conference and the Youth Agenda Forum.

The 2024 MIL Seminar addresses the concept of incorporating MIL for the public good and focuses on how the global community can use Global MIL Week to build MIL as a key to a vision of information as a public good and towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

We hope to provide an engaging forum for the participants and uphold the vision that MIL contributes to the public good, and progress towards the objectives of open and pluralistic information systems, promoting sustainable development, inclusion, equality, intercultural dialogue, and safeguarding democracy.
