This course is designed to introduce learners to basic Media and Information Literacy concepts including the

Media and information literacy
(MIL) is defined as a “set of competencies that empowers citizens to access,
retrieve, understand, evaluate and use, create as well as share information,
media and digital content in all formats, using various tools, in a critical,
ethical and effective way, to achieve their personal, social, occupational,
educational and developmental goals.” (UNESCO, 2022)
MIL is gaining greater
awareness and recognition in Myanmar in recent years among various sectors –
government, mass media agencies, media NGOs, civil society, and the academe.
MIL competencies are now being practiced or applied in different settings. It
is important for all individuals, especially young people, to acquire MIL
competencies in order to know
and act upon their rights to create and share information, media, and digital
content in all formats, using various tools, in a critical, ethical and
effective way.
