General Yearbook Information:

Across the globe there are innovative media and information literacy programs taking place. Despite these strong efforts, it is sometimes difficult to gain information about best practices so that new programs may benefit from prior work. It is the aim of the yearbook to speak to this need. Articles provide detail about ways to engage young people through activities in critical thinking, creative production using mobile media, methods for building partnerships with government and education, and research detailing exciting new practices.

The yearbook is a project of the UNESCO/UNAOC university cooperation program known as UNITWIN, the university twinning and networking program. The goal of the program is to promote “international inter-university cooperation and networking to enhance institutional capacities through knowledge sharing and collaborative work.” (1) In addition to the yearbook other projects of the UNITWIN cooperation program include an online MIL college course and an annual conference to bring together the wider MIL community. Conferences have been held in Barcelona (2012), Cairo (2013), Beijing (2014). The 2015 conference will take place in Philadelphia June 26-27, 2015.

The UNITWIN cooperation program is part of the Global Alliance for Partnerships on Media and Information Literacy (GAPMIL) GAPMIL is an international effort working to ensure that all citizens have access to media and information competencies.
