Media and Information Literacy Curriculum for Teachers. This Media and Information Literacy Curriculum for Teachers is an important resource for Member States in their continuing work towards achieving the objectives of the Grünwald Declaration (1982), the Alexandria Declaration (2005) and the UNESCO Paris Agenda (2007) – all related to MIL.
It is pioneering for two reasons. First, it is forward looking, drawing on present trends toward the convergence of radio, television, Internet, newspapers, books, digital archives and libraries into one platform – thereby, for the first time, presenting MIL in a holistic manner.

UNESCO has left no stone unturned in ensuring that a systematic and comprehensive approach be employed in the preparation of this MIL Curriculum for Teachers. This publication is divided into two parts. The Standard for Influence. How to choose a safe password - Technology. Digital Citizenship l Topic Portal. Your Digital Presence. Digital Literacy and Citizenship Curriculum for Grades 9-12. 15 digital citizenship resources for schools.
