UNESCO MIL Alliance is a global network that fosters international cooperation in advancing Media and Information Literacy (MIL). It serves as a platform for diverse stakeholders (such as civil society organizations, academic institutions, regulators, media entities, digital enterprises, libraries, museums, etc.), to collaboratively promote MIL as an essential component of lifelong learning, democracy, and social inclusion.
The call for registration or application is open to both individuals and organizations, respectively, that are actively engaged in MIL and willing to contribute to the UNESCO’s MIL Alliance. Individuals are not considered as members of the Alliance, rather they will be in the database of Experts working on MIL. Organizations will become members of the Alliance and will be listed on the Alliance’s website.
Successful registrants or applicants will be designated as follows:
- Organizations will become “Members” of the Alliance.
- Individuals will be registered as ” Experts working on MIL” within the UNESCO database and will also be able to access the platform and interact other experts and partners. The individual applicant is not listed or considered a member of the Alliance. However, member organizations and registered experts will be able to search and find list of other MIL experts registered in the database.
Eligibility Requirements
To apply, you or your organization should:
- Be familiar with UNESCO’s mission to promote MIL for all.
- Possess expertise and experience in MIL.
- Contribute to MIL initiatives at various levels.
- Be willing to share information and foster collaboration within the Alliance.
- Support UNESCO’s strategic priorities on MIL.
How to Apply
To submit your registration or application, please complete and submit the form below via this platform. Registration or Applications submitted through other means will not be accepted.
- For organizations: If applying on behalf of an organization to become a “Member”, you must be the designated Focal Point appointed by the organization’s head. The Focal Point will act as the main contact person for coordination and communication within the Alliance.
- For individual applicants: If you are registering as an individual to be part of the database of “Experts working on MIL”, please provide information about your personal/individual MIL actions in the form. If it is possible for you, you can consult with the organization with which you are affiliated and register as an organization instead of an individual. Remember, individual experts are not considered a member of the Alliance.
Registration or Application Review Process
Once submitted, applications from organizations will be reviewed by UNESCO MIL Team to assess whether you or your organization meet the criteria for joining the network. The designated Focal Point will receive automated email notifications regarding the status of the application at each stage. Registration requests from individual experts will also be reviewed by UNESCO MIL Team before validation. You will receive a confirmation email once validated.
