Media Literacy at Your Library: Learning and Prototyping Report Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: American Library Association (ALA) Media Literacy at Your Library was a project of the American Library Association (ALA) in collaboration with the Center for News Literacy at Stony Brook University (CNL), supported by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Democracy Fund, and the Rita Allen Foundation as part of the Knight Prototype Fund.Through this project, ALA sought to address a critical need in the field for adult media literacy education, with a focus on news literacy. The goal of the prototype project was to develop media literacy training and complementary resources designed to prepare public library professionals to educate their adult patrons to be informed media consumers.Following a one-day training led by CNL, teams from five public libraries took on the challenges of creating innovative media literacy programs serving their distinct communities. With the goal of making the CNL news literacy curriculum more broadly accessible to the library field, the teams also offered feedback on a series of online trainings based on the in-person training they attended. These five library teams guided and informed ALA and CNL’s understanding and development of prototype resources over the course of the project.

Research Report: A Comparative Study on Hybrid Learning in Schools Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) During the COVID-19 lockdown, policymakers and educators faced an unprecedented challenge disrupting all levels of education. The initial optimism about replacing physical classes with virtual lessons diminished as complex interconnected issues emerged. To address the need for continuous and sustainable learning, school systems implemented variations of hybrid learning during the pandemic, seeking to integrate physical and virtual classes. These approaches prompted this comparative study led by UNESCO-IBE. The initial phase of this study involved collecting and analysing data on hybrid strategies from six countries. The research aimed to examine factors influencing hybrid learning implementation during the lockdown, with a subsequent focus on developing and validating a practical Hybrid Learning Framework for Schools. The cross-case analysis was designed not to rank or compare, but to understand and connect different scenarios and contexts. Phase I focuses on current hybrid learning practices and influencing factors, while Phases II and III will concentrate on using the information gathered to create and validate a Hybrid Learning Framework for Schools. Hybrid learning is not just a response to pandemics but also serves as a viable solution for other scenarios where full school attendance is difficult. Aligned with UNESCO-IBE’s overarching vision of a comprehensive, personalized, and democratized curriculum accessible to all, hybrid learning facilitates inclusive education across diverse regions, overcoming geographical and temporal limitations. The approach aims to unlock the unique potential of every learner, fostering a more flexible educational environment.Published in February 2024 by the UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) with support from the European Union. Adult education and development: global citizenship education (no 82, 2015) Year of publication: 2015 Corporate author: DVV International Issue 82/2015 of the international journal Adult Education and Development (AED) explores the topic global citizenship education.In the international debates, we are witnessing a growing interest in the concept of global citizenship education. It is one of the three pillars of the Global Education First Initiative (GEFI) launched by the United Nations Secretary-General in 2012 and is being internationally promoted by the work of UNESCO. According to the GEFI, education that fosters global citizenship “must fully assume its central role in helping people to forge more just, peaceful, tolerant and inclusive societies”. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in September 2015, refers to global citizenship as one tool to “ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development”.The ambitions are high, but the concrete understanding of global citizenship education and its implications differ widely. Is it just another abstract concept? What meaning can the word citizenship have if it does not refer to a specific nation? What do people in different parts of the world understand by global citizenship? And how can global citizenship education be put into practice?Adult Education and Development decided to engage in the debate and invited authors from different regions, backgrounds and disciplines to share their thoughts and experiences on the topic and related questions such as identity, migration, peace, the meaning of citizenship, globalisation and sustainable development.Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO, explains the organisation’s understanding of global citizenship education, and why adult education and “learning beyond the classrooms” are crucial when it comes to promoting global citizenship. Canadian author and journalist Doug Saunders (“Arrival City: How the Largest Migration in History Is Reshaping Our World”) talks about the challenges and opportunities of what he refers to as the last great human migration, that from the countryside to the cities, and about the positive role adult education can play during this transition.In the section “Citizens’ voices” people from all over the world talk about what global citizenship means to them and in what ways they see themselves as global citizens. And photographer Viktor Hilitksi travelled through Belarus and captured with his camera how villages rediscover their local traditions and cultures. L'éducation des adultes et le développement: l'éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale (82, 2015) Year of publication: 2015 Corporate author: DVV International Problème 82/2015 de la revue internationale d'Éducation des Adultes et le Développement (EAD) explore l'éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale sujet.Dans les débats internationaux, nous assistons à un intérêt croissant pour le concept d'éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale. Il est l'un des trois piliers de la Première Initiative Mondiale pour l'éducation globale avant tout(GEFI) lancé par le Secrétaire général des Nations Unies en 2012 et est internationalement promu par le travail de l'UNESCO. Selon le GEFI, l'éducation qui favorise la citoyenneté mondiale "doit assumer pleinement son rôle central en aidant les gens à forger plus justes, des sociétés pacifiques, tolérantes et inclusives". L'Agenda 2030 pour le développement durable, adoptée par l'Assemblée générale des Nations Unies en Septembre 2015, se réfère à la citoyenneté mondiale comme un outil pour «faire en sorte que tous les apprenants à acquérir les connaissances et les compétences nécessaires pour promouvoir le développement durable». Les ambitions sont élevées, mais la compréhension concrète de L'éducation à la citoyenneté Mondiale (ECM) et ses implications diffèrent largement. Est-il juste un autre concept abstrait? Quel sens le mot citoyenneté peut avoir si elle ne se réfère pas à une nation spécifique? Que font les gens dans différentes parties du monde à comprendre par la citoyenneté mondiale? Et comment L'éducation à la citoyenneté Mondiale (ECM) être mis en pratique? Education des adultes et développement ont décidé de participer au débat et a invité les auteurs de différentes régions, milieux et disciplines à partager leurs réflexions et expériences sur le sujet et les questions connexes telles que l'identité, la migration, la paix, le sens de la citoyenneté, la mondialisation et le développement durable. Irina Bokova, Directrice générale de l'UNESCO, explique la compréhension de l'organisation de l'éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale, et pourquoi l'éducation des adultes et de «l'apprentissage au-delà des salles de classe" sont cruciales en matière de promotion de la citoyenneté mondiale. auteur canadien et journaliste Doug Saunders ( «Ville d'arrivée: Comment la plus grande migration dans l'histoire remodèle notre monde») parle des défis et des possibilités de ce qu'il désigne comme la dernière grande migration humaine, que de la campagne vers les villes, et sur le rôle positif l'éducation des adultes peut jouer au cours de cette transition. Dans la section «voix des citoyens" les gens de partout dans le monde parlent de ce que signifie la citoyenneté mondiale pour eux et de quelle manière ils se considèrent comme des citoyens du monde. Et le photographe Viktor Hilitksi a voyagé à travers le Bélarus et capturé avec sa caméra comment les villages redécouvrent leurs traditions et cultures locales.
