UNESCO Media and Information Literacy Alliance
The UNESCO Media and Information Literacy Alliance, formerly known as Global Alliance for Partnerships on Media and Information Literacy (GAPMIL), is a groundbreaking effort to promote international cooperation to ensure that all citizens have access to media and information literacy competencies. Yet, organizations and individuals from over a hundred countries have agreed to join forces and stand together for change. This pioneering initiative was launched during the Global Forum for Partnerships on Media and Information Literacy which took place from 26 to 28 June 2013, in Abuja, Nigeria, aiming at:
- articulating concrete partnerships to drive media and information literacy development and impact globally;
- enabling the media and information literate community to speak as one voice on certain critical matters, particularly as it relates to policies;
- further deepening the strategy for media and information literacy to be treated as a composite concept by providing a common platform for media and information literacy related networks and associations globally.
CIAC – Research Centre in Arts and Communication
CIAC, established in 2008 at the University of Algarve, Portugal, has been conducting innovative research in the arts and communication. It encompasses visual and performing arts, digital media art, and film studies. In the realm of communication, it explores media literacy, digital communication, intercultural communication, and literary tourism. This approach combines the creation of dissemination platforms with the analysis of scientific knowledge communication in these spheres, maintaining a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary profile since its inception.
CIAC is mainly active in Algarve, Portugal (its headquarters location), with activities in several Municipalities and cultural Associations in other regions, as it was established as a relevant stakeholder in the region and beyond.
