About Book

The first edition of the MILID Yearbook was published in 2013 with the theme, “Media and Information Literacy and Intercultural Dialogue”. The 2014 edition of the yearbook was on “Global Citizenship in a Digital World”, while the edition in 2015 focused on “Media and Information Literacy for the Sustainable Development Goals.”This year’s edition is focused on a highly relevant theme of “Media and Information Literacy: Reinforcing Human Rights, Countering Radicalization and Extremism”. It is a relevant reference point to initiate discussion and offer perspectives to stakeholders seeking to apply MIL as a tool to counter violent extremism. There is evident need for evidence-based research, assessment and evaluation that can provide insight into the impact of media and information literacy on societies. UNESCO trusts that this publication will contribute to ongoing scholarship and debate on these key topics.
