While UNESCO has long promoted MIL, its application in adult learning has been underrepresented. To address this, the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL), in collaboration with UNESCO’s Media and Information Literacy and Digital Competencies Unit and with financial support from Shanghai Open University (SOU), has developed a comprehensive self-learning course for adult educators. This course equips adult educators to combat misinformation and harmful online content by fostering critical thinking and digital literacy, promoting informed and active digital citizenship.
This webinar is part of the webinar series: ‘Building green, inclusive and climate-resilient urban communities – the learning cities approach’ by the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities. For more information, click here.
