UNESCO-UNAOC UNITWIN Global Chair on Media and Information Literacy and
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:
