Media and Information Literacy

UNESCO supports the development of Media and Information Literacy and Digital Competencies for all to enable people’s ability to engage critically with information, navigate the online environment safely, and help build trust in our information ecosystem and in digital technologies.

Media and Information Literacy provides a set of essential skills to address the challenges of the 21^st century including the proliferation of mis- and disinformation and hate speech, the decline of trust in media and digital innovations notably Artificial Intelligence.
