In partnership with UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) and the Autonomous University of Barcelona (AUB), this course is targeted at public servants and practitioners from anywhere around the world who would like to envision policy-making accounting for a Media and Information Literacy perspective, an area of knowledge that deals with information in a broader sense and how citizens’ skills and competencies resonate in critical thinking, conscious and active citizenship.
