DESCRIPTION:\n	(A/RES/75/267)\n\n\n\n	In 2021\, the UN General Assembly 
	decided to commemorate Media and Information Literacy (MIL) week\, citing 
	the need for the dissemination of factual\, timely\, targeted\, clear\, ac
	cessible\, multilingual and science-based information. The resolution reco
	gnizes that the substantial digital divide and data inequalities that exis
	t among different countries and within them\, can be addressed in part by 
	improving people’s competencies to seek\, receive and impart information
	 in the digital realm.\n\n\n\n	In the current ecosystem of complex and som
	etimes contradictory messages and meanings\, it is hard to conceive of the
	 public good being advanced\, if the public is disempowered in the face of
	 opportunities and threats. Each individual needs to be equipped with medi
	a and information literacy competencies to understand the stakes\, and to 
	contribute to and benefit from information and communication opportunities
	.\n\n\n\n	Global Media and Information Literacy Week\, commemorated annual
	ly\, is a major occasion for stakeholders to review and celebrate the prog
	ress achieved towards “Media and Information Literacy for All.” \n\n\
	n\n	What is Media and Information Literacy?\n\n	Our brains depend on infor
	mation to work optimally. The quality of information we engage with largel
	y determines our perceptions\, beliefs and attitudes. It could be informat
	ion from other persons\, the media\, libraries\, archives\, museums\, publ
	ishers\, or other information providers including those on the Internet.\n
	\n\n\n	People across the world are witnessing a dramatic increase in acces
	s to information and communication. While some people are starved for info
	rmation\, others are flooded with print\, broadcast and digital content. M
	edia and Information Literacy (MIL) provides answers to the questions that
	 we all ask ourselves at some point. How can we access\, search\, critical
	ly assess\, use and contribute content wisely\, both online and offline? W
	hat are our rights online and offline? What are the ethical issues surroun
	ding the access and use of information? How can we engage with media and i
	nformation and communications technologies (ICTs) to promote equality\, in
	tercultural and interreligious dialogue\, peace\, freedom of expression an
	d access to information?\n\n\n\n	Through capacity-building resources\, suc
	h as curricula development\, policy guidelines and articulation\, and asse
	ssment framework\, UNESCO supports the development of MIL competencies amo
	ng people.\n\n
