Welcome to the MDPI Global Media and Information Literacy Week 2025 Webinar!
We are pleased to invite you to the Global Media and Information Literacy (MIL) Week 2025 Webinar, taking place on 28 October 2025 as part of the worldwide celebrations from 24 to 31 October. Proclaimed by UNESCO, Global MIL Week is an international initiative dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of media and information literacy in empowering individuals and communities in today’s digital age.
This year’s focus underscores how MIL equips people to critically evaluate information, responsibly navigate digital spaces, and ethically engage in a world shaped by rapid technological changes, misinformation, and disinformation. By fostering these competencies, MIL strengthens freedom of expression, promotes diversity and inclusion, and supports peace and sustainable development.
The webinar will feature expert speakers from around the globe who will share their research, perspectives, and experiences in advancing media and information literacy. It will also provide an interactive platform for discussion, encouraging collaboration and inspiring innovative approaches to building a more informed and resilient society.
