and Information Literacy”</b></font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Media and Information Literacy (MIL),
defined as the ability to access, analyze, and create media, is a prerequisite
for citizens to realize their rights to freedom of information and expression.
A rights-based approach is pursued to define MIL in general, and Digital
Media and Information Literacy (DMIL) in particular. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The discussion paper “Media and Information
Literacy: A human rights-based approach in developing countries” draws
on different projects initiated by DW Akademie to illustrate the importance
of aspects such as creation or engagement. The paper emphasizes that various
stakeholders need to be involved so that citizens can critically access,
use, and participate in the flow of information on a broad scale.</font>
