Media and Information Literacy Alliance (MILA)

MILA, the Media and Information Literacy Alliance, is a cross-sector charity bringing together organisations and individuals sharing a common belief in the power of media and information literacy to help people lead happier, healthier, safer and more productive lives. MILA is the UK chapter of the Unesco MIL Alliance. It was registered as charity in December 2023, with an initial board of trustees. MILA’s mission is to foster collaborations and education that empower everyone in the UK with the lifelong ability to reach and express discerning views about the information and media that they use, share and create. Its vision is of a society where people engage critically with information and media. MILA addresses its mission by working and partnering with stakeholders in multiple sectors, rather than directly with the general public. Its specificity is that it is an alliance that brings together diverse players – organisations, groups, initiatives and individuals – to capitalise on their expertise and strengthen their collective voice to bring about jointly-derived solutions. MILA is thus an enabler and facilitator, as well as an advocate, deploying its values to foster projects and initiatives derived from collaborative efforts; to bring about a more holistic and joined-up approach to developing media and information literacy; and to influence policy and practice, drawing from the credibility of pooled expertise.

Facilitated by the media regulator (Coimisiún na Méan), MLI brings a wide range of sectors together including the national, local and community media, education, academia, digital technology platforms, libraries, as well as the community and voluntary sector and the youth sector. Our vision is to empower people with the skills and knowledge to be able to make informed choices about the media content and services that they use and engage with. Our work is concentrated on four strands: Coordination – We are the acknowledged first port of call in Ireland for media literacy, providing support, advice and guidance to a range of stakeholders. Communication – We foster discussion and debate around all aspects of media literacy in Ireland to help identify emerging issues, gaps in provision and opportunities for collaboration. Promotion – We use the strength, reach and expertise of MLI members to create highlight media literacy related issues and signpost to sources of support. Innovation – We inspire, encourage and facilitate the development of new media initiatives and we encourage evaluation and sustainability. We organise the annual MLI Awards event and we coordinate the Be Media Smart campaign. bemediasmart.ie
