Information Literacy and Democracy: Perspectives of MIL Education
At the first online IDESA Conference held on 4th December 2020 in Sarajevo, that highlighted various aspects of information and media literacy with particular emphasis on the role of information professional for civic development in Bosnia and Herzegovina, this year’s, second hybrid (online) IDESA 2021 will be held on 28th and 29 November 2021 in Sarajevo / Faculty of Political Sciences, University of Sarajevo.
IDESA 2021 – INFORMATION LITERACY AND DEMOCRACY: PERSPECTIVES OF MIL EDUCATION will introduce various aspects of media and information literacy, different approaches, and practices but also to articulate perspectives for the further development of digital learning.
It goes along with ongoing discussions and activities hosted by Institute of Social Science Research of the Faculty of Political Sciences (University of Sarajevo) that in cooperation with the University of Hildesheim (Germany) follow joint efforts to engage in wider academic discourses for the benefit of fostering democratization of learning processes.
Since the Institute of Social Science Research has recently developed and published a series of documents and books for the integration of MIL curricula in schools, this conference should serve as capacity building forum for educators, teachers, librarians, academics, information professionals, students etc. especially those who are focused on transferring MIL knowledge and skills.
On the first day we are going to gather school librarians from Bosnia and Herzegovina (who have been attending online programs and training in media and information literacy for the last two months) at the expert workshop while the second day should offer insights on perspectives of digital education from the internationally renewed speakers.
