SLA Europe Event - Understanding more about Media Literacy
SLA Europe was delighted to hold this hybrid event, hosted at the Business & IP Centre at the British Library, on understanding more about media literacy. Our speaker was Stéphane Goldstein, who is the Executive Director of InformAll, a research consultancy which he founded in 2016, specialising in media and information literacy. He is also the Advocacy and Outreach Officer for the CILIP Information Literacy Group and coordinates the new Media and Information Literacy Alliance (MILA).
MILA was set up in mid-2021 to promote media and information literacy in the UK, with a view to getting this better recognised as a vital contribution to society. In this presentation, Stéphane as MILA’s coordinator explained how the Alliance came about; how it fits into current UK public policy developments; what it has achieved to date; and how it brings together organisations and individuals interested in working collaboratively to champion media and information literacy and to influence policy and practice. MILA was originally founded by CILIP and the CILIP Information Literacy Group, but its remit extends beyond the library world. The presentation was an opportunity to discuss the increasing relevance of media and information literacy and how this might relate to the interests of the SLA Europe community.
