"The Media Information Literacy in The 21st Century"

Media literacy and information literacy have always been linked, but the greater accessibility of content via the Internet and mobile platforms has meant that those literacies are increasingly intertwined. UNESCO considers information literacy and media literacy together as Media and Information Literacy (MIL). MIL includes Information and communication literacy and digital literacy. MIL is defined as a set of competencies that empowers citizens to access, retrieve, understand, evaluate and use, create, as well as share information and media content in all formats, using various tools, in a critical, ethical and effective way, in order to participate and engage in personal, professional and societal activities.  

Technology alone cannot bridge the digital divide between and within countries. Knowledge societies ultimately depend on people’s access to media and information and their ability to locate, evaluate and use information effectively.

MIL represents essential competencies and skills to equip citizens in the 21st century with the abilities to engage with media and information systems effectively and develop critical thinking and life-long learning skills to socialize and become active citizens.

That's why we as an ambassador of UNESCO, we teach and provide you with knowledge that could make not only the youth but also to all ages have enough mind-set that could be able to uphold the duties in their selves and there community. We are here to tell you as an ambassador that you, the sangguniang kabataan are the teachers of the people in your community. Influence them to learn about technology, so they would be the people who teach others after or before them. Be information literate, be media literate.
