Literacy Information

This is my 3000th blog post here, and it celebrates the Latin American and Caribbean Media and Information Literacy (MIL) forum that was just held (10-11 December) in Mexico (Foro de Alfabetizacion Mediatica e Informacional en Latino America y El Caribe). The Forum establshed a Latin American and Caribbean chapter of the Global Alliance for Partnerships on Media and Information Literacy (GAPMIL) and also made a Declaración de México on MIL (I think the final text has not yet been published).
Additionally, the Doha Centre for Media Freedom signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico’s television directorate (TV Unam) for cooperation on training and initiatives to do with MIL and media freeedom.
The (Spanish-language) website is at http://www.foroamilac.org/
There is a short video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y07oWoiZV1A and the forum has a channel here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt2blip020_D3EylacECRJQ though at the moment the main thing on it is a series of 3 videos with European media literacy experts saying why media literacy is important.
