In the latest publication from the project, led by Prof Laurence Piper, the team describes how they engaged local authorities and other stakeholders with both key findings and the community co-researchers who generated them.

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.
