🤝 Media and Information Literacy is no longer the responsibility of schools alone. We all play a part.🌍
In a world shaped by artificial intelligence, digital platforms and an unprecedented flow of information, we all have a role to play in helping people navigate information critically, confidently and ethically.
UNESCO works to advance #MediaAndInfoLiteracy for all by bringing together partners and communities, developing educational resources and fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing.
Our actions shape the information environments we live in. Together, we can build healthier, more inclusive and resilient information ecosystems.

🌍 Kako gradovi mogu postati pokretači medijske i informacijske pismenosti?
Upravo je to bila tema današnjeg predavanja dr. sc. Altona Grizzleja, UNESCO-ova stručnjaka za medijsku i informacijsku pismenost, održanog na Sveučilištu u Dubrovniku. 🎓
Kroz predavanje „MIL Cities for Enlightened Citizens: A Mass Civic Engagement Renewing” istaknuta je važnost gradova i lokalnih zajednica u poticanju kritičkog razmišljanja, odgovornog informiranja i aktivnog građanstva.
💡 Jer medijska i informacijska pismenost nije samo individualna vještina, već temelj informiranog i odgovornog društva.
Predavanje je održano u sklopu obilježavanja UNESCO-ova Globalnog tjedna medijske i informacijske pismenosti te aktivnosti projekta eDUres-MIL, kroz koji naš Fakultet za medije i odnose s javnošću doprinosi razvoju inicijative MIL Cities u Dubrovniku.

🌍 How can cities become driving forces for media and information literacy?
This was the central theme of today’s lecture by Dr. Alton Grizzle, UNESCO expert in media and information literacy, held at the University of Dubrovnik. 🎓
Through his lecture, “MIL Cities for Enlightened Citizens: A Mass Civic Engagement Renewing,” Dr. Grizzle highlighted the important role of cities and local communities in fostering critical thinking, responsible information consumption, and active citizenship.
💡 Because media and information literacy is not just an individual skill, but a foundation for an informed and responsible society.
The lecture was held as part of UNESCO’s Global Media and Information Literacy Week and the eDUres-MIL project, through which our Faculty of Media and Public Relations contributes to the development of the MIL Cities initiative in Dubrovnik.

🌍 Dubrovnik domaćin središnjeg globalnog događanja UNESCO-ove inicijative „Gradovi medijske i informacijske pismenosti”
Stradun je danas povezao Dubrovnik s katarskim Al Rayyanom 🇶🇦 i gradovima diljem svijeta u okviru Globalnog tjedna medijske i informacijske pismenosti i obilježavanja Svjetskog dana gradova.
Kao jedan od prvih pilot-gradova inicijative, Dubrovnik povezuje kulturnu baštinu, obrazovanje i aktivno građanstvo kako bi osnažio građane za kritičko promišljanje, provjeravanje izvora i prepoznavanje dezinformacija. ☝🏼
U uvodnom dijelu sudjelovali su Mariya Gabriel, pomoćnica glavnog ravnatelja UNESCO-a za komunikacije i informacije, Mansour Ajraan M. A. Al-boenain, glavni ravnatelj gradske uprave Al Rayyana, te gradonačelnik Mato Franković @frankovicmato .
💬 „Otporan grad treba građane koji mogu kritički razmišljati, donositi odgovorne odluke i aktivno sudjelovati u oblikovanju njegove budućnosti”, poručio je gradonačelnik @frankovicmato .
U razgovoru ☕️ „Heritage Café”, posvećenom povjerenju, pouzdanim informacijama i kulturnoj baštini, sudjelovali su Mihaela Skurić, Jelica Čučević, Mark Thomas, Mato Brautović, Žarko Dragojević i UNESCO-ov stručnjak Alton Grizzle.
Građani i posjetitelji provjeravali su tvrdnje o dubrovačkoj povijesti, a u „Crnoj kutiji - Istine i zablude” podijelili su što žele sačuvati za buduće generacije i koje su zablude o Gradu čuli.
Učenici šestih razreda u „Lovu na informacijsko blago” istraživali su izvore u muzejima, knjižnici i arhivu te otkrivenu poruku provjerili na izvornom kamenom natpisu u palači Sponza.
Aktivnosti su pripremljene u suradnji Grada Dubrovnika sa Sveučilištem, ustanovama i lokalnim partnerima. Za dugoročni razvoj inicijative osnovan je Koordinacijski odbor MIL Dubrovnik s 37 članova.
📍 Program se nastavlja sutra, 4. studenoga, od 10:30 do 12 sati na Sveučilištu u Dubrovniku, javnim predavanjem i razgovorom „Gradovi medijske i informacijske pismenosti za osviještene građane - poticanje aktivnog sudjelovanja građana”, koji će voditi Alton Grizzle.

من أكثر من 115 بلدة وقرية في جنوب لبنان، وصل مشروع تمكين الشباب إلى أكثر من 900 شاب وشابة، محوّلاً المعرفة إلى مهارات، والمشاركين إلى صُنّاع تغيير في مجتمعاتهم. 🇱🇧
على مدى عامين، عملت اليونسكو، بتمويل من اليونيفيل، على تعزيز التربية الإعلامية والمعلوماتية، والتحقق من المعلومات، ومواجهة التضليل وخطاب الكراهية، وتعزيز المواطنة الرقمية المسؤولة.
واليوم، تتواصل هذه الرحلة بإطلاق Youth Media Center في صور ومنصة المواطن الرقمي، لفتح آفاق جديدة أمام الشباب للإبداع، وإنتاج المحتوى، وإيصال أصواتهم.
التمكين لا ينتهي بانتهاء المشروع، بل يبدأ بالأثر الذي يتركه الشباب في مجتمعاتهم.

More than 900 young women and men reached across 115+ towns and villages in South Lebanon! 🇱🇧
Over two years, UNESCO, with funding from UNIFIL, has worked with young people to strengthen their Media and Information Literacy skills, verify information, counter disinformation and hate speech, and promote responsible digital citizenship.
Today, this journey continues with the launch of the Youth Media Centre in Tyre and the Digital Citizen Hub platform, creating new opportunities for young people to produce content, share their stories and amplify their voices.
From learning to action. From participants to changemakers. The journey continues!

At @unescomil ‘s Regional Media and Information Literacy Week, creators from across Africa came together to learn how we can build safer, more informed and trustworthy digital spaces.
For me, it was an opportunity to connect with fellow creators, share experiences, and gain practical tools for verifying information before passing it on to my audience. I left with a renewed sense of responsibility for the trust people place in us—and a pledge to work with journalists and fact-checkers to better inform my community.
Having the opportunity to deliver the closing keynote meant so much to me. I spoke about the privilege of having an audience, the care we owe the people who listen to us, and the mentorship, resources and funding creators need to carry this work forward.
At @civicrise.africa , creators have always been our spine, and information integrity our goal. Our work is rooted in bringing governance and public information into language and stories people can understand, see themselves in, and act on. That responsibility begins with getting the information right.
My sincere thanks to @unesco @unescomil , @fecomo_kenya and @akuhnairobi for hosting us, investing in our growth, and making room for this exchange.
Sharing this speech with you means sharing something I deeply believe: when we invest in creators, we strengthen their ability to serve the communities who trust them. ❤️🌍

What happens when a misleading video goes viral, and who is held accountable for the damage it causes?
At UNESCO House in New Delhi, The Forwarded Lie, a play by @antraaltheatre, brought this question to the courtroom through a gripping drama exploring misinformation, artificial intelligence and the role we all play in shaping the digital information landscape.
Held as part of UNESCO’s regional commemoration of #GlobalMILWeek 2026, the play challenged audiences to question what they see, verify what they receive and think critically before sharing.
Because in the digital age, building a more informed society is something, in which, #WeAllPlayAPart.

🌍 As part of #GlobalMILWeek and #WorldCitiesDay 2026, UNESCO, Dubrovnik, Al Rayyan and other cities implementing the #MILCities initiative will show how cities can creatively integrate Media and Information Literacy into the places where people live, work, gather, travel, and share information.
📅 27 October – 8 November 2026 |
📍Al Rayyan, Qatar & Dubrovnik, Croatia
🏢 Under the theme “MIL Cities for Enlightened Citizens,” the event will explore how cities can support people to navigate today’s complex information environment, think critically about what they encounter, and be more informed and engaged in civic life.
✨ By moving #MediaAndInfoLiteracy beyond the classroom and into daily urban life, the MIL Cities initiative will demonstrate how cities can become more people-centred, serving as spaces for MIL learning, dialogue, restoring trust in established institutions and building resilience to societal challenges.
