Winners of the Global Media and Information Literacy Awards
The MIL Alliance's action is to promote international cooperation among individuals, organizations and several stakeholders working to promote media and information literacy.
The MIL Global Action aims to capitalize all relevant initiatives and projects in the field of Media and Information Literacy (MIL), through the different editions of the Global Media and Information Literacy Awards, and therefore commemorating the MIL winners since the first edition of the Global Media and Information Literacy Awards in 2016.
The MIL Alliance Awards recognize information/library, media and technology specialists, educators, artists, activists, researchers, policy makers, NGOs, associations and other groups integrating MIL (media and information literacy) in an innovative way in their work and related activities. Specifically, the awards recognize excellence and leadership in five sectors: Education, Research, Policy, Advocacy, Media and Communication/Information Industries.
The Global Media and Information Literacy Awards are presented every year at the Global MIL Week feature conference. For 2022, the Global Media and Information Literacy Awards are led by the International Steering Committee and members of the UNESCO Media and Information Literacy Alliance.
