UNESCO is launching a call for academic papers and case study/project related presentations for the Global MIL Week 2016 feature event, the Sixth MIL and Intercultural Dialogue Conference and first General Assembly of Global Alliance for Partnerships in Media and Information Literacy (GAPMIL). The aim is to stimulate a truly global dialogue and critical exchange that is taking place in a particularly challenging moment for contemporary democratic societies.
The deadline for submissions is 5 August 2016. Papers and presentations will be selected based on relevance to the themes outlined and after assessment by a diverse scientific committee set up for the conference.
The Global MIL Week 2016 is organized under the theme “Media and Information Literacy: New Paradigms for Intercultural Dialogue”. It is led by UNESCO in cooperation with General Assembly of the GAPMIL, UNAOC and the Media and Information and Intercultural Dialogue (MILID) University Network. Global MIL Week will be celebrated from 31 October to 5 November 2016 in São Paulo, Brazil.
