UNESCO-supported discussion on Media and Information Literacy in Serbia:
\nCross-sector approach for all generations<\/strong>
\n\"unesco-mil-clicks_twitteroctobersmall\"Young people are faced with a challenge they might not even be aware of: from whom will they learn about Media and Information Literacy (MIL)? Parents, often themselves lacking MIL skills, are rarely aware of the importance of a critical approach to information, especially online. Thus, other stakeholders in the media, information and educational sector need to be strongly involved in initiatives on MIL. This need for a cross-sector approach was echoed during the conference “Media and Information Literacy as a Tool to Build Trust in the Media”, that was held in Belgrade on October 13th, 2016.<\/p>\n

The conference was organized by Media Education Center (MEC)<\/strong>, a partner on the EU-UNESCO funded project \u201cBuilding Trust in Media in South East Europe and Turkey\u201d. It gathered important stakeholders in the field of Media and Information Literacy in Serbia, with representatives of two state ministries – Ministry of Youth and Sports and the Ministry of Culture and Information, OSCE, Serbia\u2019s Press council and many representatives of Serbia\u2019s non-governmental sector.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
