International MIL Training for Ibero-American Regulators Successfully Concludes

From September 17 to November 18, 2025, UNESCO, the Ibero-American Platform of Audiovisual Regulators (PRAI), and Lusófona University ran an international training course on Media and Information Literacy (MIL) for audiovisual regulators across Ibero-America.

Inspired by Lusófona’s Master’s in Media and Information Literacy and Digital Citizenship, the course brought together 40 representatives from 11 organisations in eight countries. The programme was led by professors Maria José Brites, Margarida Maneta, Vitor Tomé, and Lucia Mesquita, all members of the Master’s faculty.

Over ten weeks, participants explored regulatory and educational frameworks for MIL in Europe and Latin America, strategies to counter disinformation and hate speech, the impact of artificial intelligence on digital citizenship, and global best practices. The initiative aimed to strengthen regulators’ role in fostering more informed, critical, and democratic societies.

The course successfully concluded yesterday, November 18th, reinforcing regional collaboration and advancing Media and Information Literacy within audiovisual regulation.
