We are now warmly inviting abstract submissions for the next MILID 
Yearbook from media and information literacy scholars and practitioners.

The theme of the Media and Information Literacy and Intercultural 
Dialogue (MILID) Yearbook 2022/2023 is Media and information literacy 
for the public good. Taking our point of departure fromer the Global 
Media and Information Literacy 2021 organized by UNESCO and South 
Africa, we are interested in submissions that present and analyze 
policy, pedagocial and practical work on strengthening media and 
information literacy for all in a post-pandemic world. We want to 
inquire in the diversity of ways to empower citizens all over the world 
to engage with information while respecting the rights of others, to 
advance knowledge societies, and to combat expressions that are shown to 
harm human rights, peace and the public good.

Preferred topics include media and information literacy, media 
education, educational technology, media literacy, information literacy, 
visual literacy, news literacy, digital literacy, and media affects. In 
addition, the following UNESCO-focus issues are included as they relate 
to media and information literacy: citizen empowerment, education, 
gender equity, youth, peace, democracy, good governance, development, 
safety. It is essential that the authors make a clear connection to 
media and information literacy (MIL) and MIL environments in their book 
chapters.

Submissions can be either of academic or practical character, and the 
chapters can be written by both academics and practitioners. Submissions 
in the academic category are present original research based on 
empirical analysis or theoretical development. These submissions are 
peer-reviewed. Submissions in the professional category can be case 
studies or present critical reflections upon professional practice in 
the essay form. These submissions will be reviewed by the editorial team.

BACKGROUND

The MILID Yearbook provides a publishing forum for established and 
emerging scholars, information, media and digital professionals and 
educational practitioners. The MILID Yearbook is a project of the 
UNESCO-UNAOC UNITWIN Cooperation Programme for Media and Information 
Literacy and Intercultural Dialogue (MILID), started in 2011. The first 
edition of the yearbook was published in 2013 by Nordicom. Since 2021, 
the yearbook is published by the UNIMINUTO University in Colombia.

The MILID Yearbook has three major objectives:

- To encourage collaborations among members of the MILID Network and MIL 
researchers globally.
- To share knowledge among the partner universities and among the 
broader MILID community for best practice and research on MIL.
- To promote intercultural dialogue among the partner universities and 
beyond.
