International Council for Media Literacy

About International Council for Media Literacy

The International Council for Media Literacy is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing media literacy as essential for our global society. Our mission is to offer programs, policy recommendations, publications and dissemination of research and practice across fields, to stimulate critical conversations and deepen media education, to contribute to a robust, integrated, worldwide media literacy movement, to promote education reform in critical, creative, and ecological ways, and to encourage an informed, reflective, and compassionate citizenry. Our vision is to become a critical bridge between industry leaders, artists, journalists, policy-makers, academics, educators and activists and to support media education practices in schools, homes, and our local and global communities. IC4ML believes in building a shared understanding among media industry professionals, policy-makers, researchers, educators, and the public about ways people, communities, and nations interact with media. We believe in being future oriented and forward thinking, keeping abreast of changes in media industries, media literacy research, and media education practices, without losing sight of media history and the complexity of interactions with mediated information. We believe in committing to social and environmental justice by standing against all forms of discrimination and bigotry.
