The UNESCO West Africa Regional Office recently published a useful non-formal education guide to media and information literacy for all platforms. The aim of this guide is to provide a basic understating of media and information literacy (MIL) and to teach people how to access, understand and evaluate information, the different types of governance systems that exist and how it affects them as citizens. It is also meant to ensure that users know how to use and share information responsibly. It is intended to be used as a course book however much of its contents and activities can be used in lots of different settings.
