This session will initiate a dialogue on the development of an international multi-stakeholder framework for private/digital platforms to promote media and information literacy. We aim to demonstrate how multi-stakeholder cooperation can work with private sector organizations, including digital communication companies, and other stakeholder groups.
The global pandemic created for many a state of general isolation and underscored the unprecedented necessity of the digital sphere, including social networks, and the internet. Social and economic implications reflect the growing phenomenon of a disinfodemic by either a lack of access to information, or a lack of media and information literacy competencies to critically evaluate information. There is a ripe opportunity to stimulate multi-stakeholder cooperation for media and information literacy in digital spaces as a means to bolster inclusive internet governance.
Our expert panelists today will help us frame this topic and share their considerations for implementation, sharing the challenges and successes they have experienced in their own region and their work. We approach this topic with the belief that ensuring media and information literacy for all requires a multi-stakeholder approach.
Let’s meet our panel of experts.
