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.
