Intercultural Dialogue (“UNESCO-UNAOC MILID UNITWIN”)

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:
