Effective Educational Ecosystems: Solutions for Open Digital Content

I've only just heard aout an online event related to the UNESCO Media and Information Literacy initiative: Effective Educational Ecosystems: Solutions for Open Digital Content taking place today (17 September) at 13.00-14.30 US Eastern time (which is, e.g. 18.00-19.30 UK time) as part of the Transforming Education Summit (TES) 2022 at United Nations HQ in New York, USA.
There is a webcast: you go to https://media.un.org/en/webtv and search for ‘ Effective Educational Ecosystems: Solutions for Open Digital Content’, conference room 1, 17 September.
"This side event will examine how Governments can leverage two key UN instruments – representing globally adopted norms and standards in the area related to open educational content: the 2019 UNESCO OER Recommendation and the United Nations General Assembly Resolution A/RES/75/267 on Media and Information Literacy and related MIL guidelines. Discussions will center on how these instruments guide creation of the crucial digital ecosystems needed for the establishment and maintenance of free, high quality open educational resources and platforms, while building educators’ and learners’ media and information literacy for critical and effective engagement with information, technologies and media."
