SUMMARY:Level Up: Moving Beyond Screen Time to Game Literacy
DESCRIPTION:Video games are a medium\, not a monolith. While many games offer profound opportunities for creativity\, spatial problem-solving\, and healthy community building\, some engineering tactics are intended to subconsciously influence user behavior to incentivize play. If asking your child to turn off a game always ends in an argument\, it’s rarely a parenting failure. It’s often because your child is still developing the cognitive tools needed to recognize the sophisticated game engines designed to prolong their engagement. \nThis workshop fundamentally shifts the conversation from enforcing arbitrary screen time limits to building true game literacy. By looking under the hood of today’s most popular platforms\, parents will learn how to distinguish between healthy digital environments and those that rely on casino-like compulsion loops. You will leave equipped with the vocabulary and tools to help your child safely navigate the medium\, recognize manipulative design\, and step out of the algorithmic loop. \nParents & Educators Will Walk Away With:\n– A clear set of benchmarks to distinguish between intentional game design that respects the player’s time (with clear beginnings\, middles\, and ends) and open-ended extraction loops designed strictly for infinite engagement.\n– Strategies to introduce healthy\, physical-world friction to rebuild their child’s capacity for face-to-face conflict resolution and resilience against online echo chambers.\n– How to shift their household response to a post-game meltdown from punitive discipline to immediate neurological triage.

SUMMARY:From Misinformation to Empowerment: Media Literacy for Youth and Adults in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:In an increasingly digital and media-saturated world\, Media and Information Literacy (MIL) has become essential for enabling individuals to critically access\, evaluate\, and use information and media content. The rapid expansion of social media\, algorithmic filtering\, and generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has transformed the information landscape\, creating new opportunities\, but also amplifying the spread of misinformation and disinformation. These developments pose significant challenges for informed decision-making\, social cohesion\, and democratic participation. While MIL initiatives have traditionally focused on youth\, there is a growing need to strengthen the MIL capacities of adult learners and\, in particular\, adult educators who play a key role in fostering critical thinking\, responsible media engagement\, and digital competencies across societies. \nTo mark World Telecommunication and Information Society Day\, this webinar – organized by the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) in collaboration with UNESCO’s Media and Information Unit within the Communication and Information Sector – will explore the role of MIL in adult learning and education in the age of AI. Bringing together policymakers\, researchers and practitioners from Global Alliance for Literacy (GAL) countries\, the event will examine emerging challenges and promising practices for equipping adult educators with essential MIL competencies. \nA highlight of the event will be the official launch of our new multilingual self-learning course on media and information literacy for adult educators. This course has been designed to empower educators with practical tools\, real-world examples and adaptable strategies to confidently navigate rapidly evolving digital environments. Participants will get an exclusive first look at how the course can strengthen critical and responsible engagement with information and how it can be used immediately in their own teaching and learning contexts.

SUMMARY:Testimony of the Human Spirit Screening and Q&A
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Holocaust and Human Rights Education Center (HHREC)\, schools are invited to view the documentary Testimony of the Human Spirit on Wednesday\, March 11 and participate in a discussion with HHREC Director of Education\, Steve Goldberg. \nThis documentary explores the Holocaust through the memories of six men and women who lived through it as children or adolescents under the Third Reich. Woven together with family photographs\, archival footage\, and a moving original score\, their testimonies illuminate what everyday life was like for young people and their families under Nazi persecution. The survivors’ accounts\, conveyed with clarity\, warmth\, and candor\, provide valuable insights into both the historical realities of the period and the resilience of the human spirit.
