<span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:sans-serif">Dear FoME colleagues,</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:sans-serif">this week is an
exciting week for Media and Information Literacy (MIL), a topic that Deutsche
Welle Akademie has been working on for several years and is strategically
committed to, with two international events running concurrently. Both
events (UNESCO and Mozilla Festival) bring together academics, educators,
international development specialists, technologists, journalists and media
professionals. MIL is a growing domain focused on ensuring that citizens
have the skills to access, analyze, create, reflect and act responsibly
on the information that they consume. It arms citizens with the necessary
knowledge and competencies to access information, voice their opinions
and actively participate in community life. </span>
<br><span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:sans-serif">Today, on Wednesday,
<b>UNESCO kicks off Global MIL Week </b>(24-30 October) with their Feature
Conference (24-25) in Kaunas. This is the conference’s eighth year and
the theme is ‘Media and Information Literate Cities: Voices, Powers and
Change Makers’. DW Akademie is a supporting partner of the event and if
you are about please come to our side session ‘Hearts, hubs and bridges
in MIL: A profile of 5 globe-spanning MIL efforts’ on Thursday at 9am
or drop by our booth. We will be showcasing a new Media and Information
Literacy Expert Network (MILEN) that we support. MILEN is an international
network of 12 MIL practitioners who are committed to sharing best practice
and advocating on MIL. </span>
<br><span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:sans-serif">Simultaneously
<b>Mozilla Festival of Action</b> is running in London from 22<sup>nd</sup>
to 28<sup>th</sup> October. DW Akademie is bringing five international
MIL experts (all members of MILEN) to <b>MisinfoCon</b> on Wednesday 24<sup>th</sup>
and <b>MozFest</b> Weekend 26-28. If you are around please come to our
session ‘Breaking invisible barriers: Are you working in MIL?’ in the
Web Literacy space at 16:30 on Saturday. </span>
<br><span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:sans-serif">DW Akademie is
using the week to provide the MILEN members with a prominent space to share
their ideas, discuss the mission, vision and values of the network and
to map current needs and expectations from the MIL community. MILEN aims
to not only raise awareness about MIL and share experiences and good practice,
but also to provide guidance and support to MIL practitioners globally.
