News dated
On 13 November, UNESCO reported on Mongolia’s sixth national media and information literacy forum, held in Ulaanbaatar on 30 October with more than one hundred participants. The meeting showcased projects by young people from HACKMIL 2026 and introduced medialab.mn, a portal designed to provide information and learning resources on media literacy. [1]
Discussions addressed checking information, artificial intelligence and children’s digital lives. Closing recommendations called for coordination between institutions, schools, media and civil society, and accessible learning opportunities beyond the capital. These are proposals and presented tools, not an evaluation of course effectiveness or proof that a national policy has already been implemented. [1]
The bright side
Youth-created projects and learning resources provide practical ways to address the quality of information. [1]
One idea, in simple words
On 30 October, more than one hundred people met in Ulaanbaatar to discuss how to understand and use information better. UNESCO published its account on 13 November. Media literacy includes asking who created a news story and what evidence supports it. The forum presented young people’s projects and a portal with learning resources. Imagine, as an example, receiving a surprising story on your phone: checking it against other sources is different from sharing it immediately. Participants also discussed artificial intelligence and children’s digital lives. Their recommendations call for cooperation between many organisations. Presenting those recommendations does not yet show that every proposal has become an effective activity or that people’s skills have already improved. [1]
