Learn to Check has announced that a panel of international media and information literacy (MIL) experts will provide guidance to the MIL CC (Media and Information Literacy and Critical Competences) project. This initiative aims to empower public libraries to combat disinformation and promote critical thinking within their communities.
The advisory group comprises seasoned professionals in media literacy, digital verification, and public engagement. Their collective expertise will support the development of training materials and strategies tailored for librarians participating in the MIL CC program. By integrating insights from these experts, the MIL CC project seeks to enhance the capacity of public libraries to serve as hubs for media literacy education, fostering informed and resilient communities.
