20. GAPMIL
The 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 competencies.
21. GAPMIL seeks to globally reposition
MIL around the core objectives of:
• Articulating key strategic partnerships to drive MIL development globally and its
application to eight key development areas:
– Governance, citizenship and freedom of expression;
– Access to information and knowledge for all citizens;
– Development of media, libraries, Internet and other information providers;
– Education, teaching, and learning - including professional development; Women, children and
youth, disabled and other marginalized groups;
– Linguistic and cultural diversity as well as intercultural and interfaith dialogue;
– Women, children and youth, persons with disabilities and other marginalized social groups;
– Health and wellness;
– Business, industry, employment and sustainable economic development;
– Agriculture, farming, wildlife protection, forestry and natural resources conservation as well as
other areas.
• Enabling the MIL community to speak and address, with a unified voice, certain
critical matters, including the need for policies; and
• Further deepening the strategy for MIL to be treated as a composite concept by
providing a common platform for MIL related networks and associations globally
that will ensure convergence of regional and international initiative and
amplification of global impact.
24. GAPMIL award
The GAPMIL Global MIL Awards will recognize
information/library, media and technology
specialists, educators, artists, activists, researchers,
policy makers, NGOs, associations and other groups
integrating MIL (media and information literacy) in
an innovative way in their work and related
activities. Specifically, the awards will recognize
excellence and leadership in five
sectors: Education, Research, Policy, Advocacy, Me
dia and communication/information industries.

26. MILID Network
• University Network on Media and Information
Literacy and Intercultural Dialogue

28. Ranganathan’s 5 Laws
• Books are for use
• Every reader his/her book
• Every book its reader
• Save the time of the reader
• Library is an evolving organism
29.
30. Law One
Information, communication, libraries,
media, technology, the Internet as well as
other forms of information providers are
for use in critical civic engagement and
sustainable development. They are equal in
stature and none is more relevant than the
other or should be ever treated as such.
31. Law Two
Every citizen is a creator of
information/knowledge and has a message.
They must be empowered to access new
information/knowledge and to express
themselves. MIL is for all – women and men
equally - and a nexus of human rights.
32. Law Three
Information, knowledge, and messages are not
always value neutral, or always independent of
biases. Any conceptualization, use and
application of MIL should make this truth
transparent and understandable to all citizens.
33. Law Four
Every citizen wants to know and understand
new information, knowledge and messages
as well as to communicate, even if she/he is
not aware, admits or expresses that he/she
does. Her/his rights must however never be
compromised.
34. Law Five
Media and information literacy is not acquired
at once. It is a lived and dynamic experience
and process. It is complete when it includes
knowledge, skills and attitudes, when it covers
access, evaluation/assessment, use,
production and communication of
information, media and technology content.
