UNESCO-UNAOC UNITWIN Global Chair on Media and Information Literacy and Intercultural Dialogue (“UNESCO-UNAOC MILID UNITWIN”)

http://milunesco.unaoc.org/



The UNESCO-UNAOC UNITWIN Global Chair on Media and Information Literacy and Intercultural Dialogue (“UNESCO-UNAOC MILID UNITWIN”) cordially invite you to submit a chapter proposal to be included in a forthcoming book, titled (provisionally) ““Social inclusion and MILID”, to be published in 2014/2015.



This book (with ISBN) aims to show outstanding initiatives around the world that target media literacy education for early school leavers (through contacts of youth groups, social workers and local governments), minorities (to be defined by nations) and for adults outside the job market and educational institutions (unemployed, pensioners).



We want to know tools utilising media and education to contribute to achieving social inclusion goals which include the use of media to reach out to disadvantaged groups (e.g. the Roma media network in Southeast Europe); initiatives that focus on developing teaching methodologies to improve the socially disadvantaged groups’ involvement in broadcasting, new technologies and adult education provision.



Disadvantaged groups of social exclusion are those who suffer from infrastructural disparities, physical or mental disability, ethnic minority or immigration, or adults disintegrated from the job market, from lifelong learning and mainstream society. Concerning media literacy, extremely vulnerable groups of people are defined as the early school leavers, the minorities of any kind of a given social structure, and the adult population that falls out of the educational systems and the job markets and completely relies on the media as a source to create and convey “reality”. These disadvantaged citizens of Europe must be provided with the tools, skills and competencies to critically evaluate and understand the society around them and the instruments of media education throughout lifelong learning must be in support of their reintegration.



The book intends to include articles that reveal the state of the art theme in different countries, as well as experience reports, case studies and best practices with special attention to those that deal with intercultural dialogue.

We would like contributions for this book to take into account the diversity of social and cultural contexts of their uses and consider media and information literacy as the main framework of analysis and discussion.





Please, follow the instructions for authors indicated below:
