Are you passionate about education and the pivotal role libraries play in shaping young minds? Join us for enlightening online sessions that delve into the crucial role of libraries in fostering media and information literacy for young people.
Why Attend?
In today’s complex information landscape, media and information literacy skills and dispositions are essential for young people. Libraries are uniquely positioned to support the development of these skills, providing resources, guidance, and a safe space for exploration and learning. This symposium will explore why libraries have an important role to play and how a guiding framework of attitude, awareness, ability, and access can be put into action.
