UNESCO MIL CLICKS Social Media Strategy initiative was launched in July 2016. The acronym CLICKS stands for Critical-thinking, Creativity, Literacy, Intercultural, Citizenship, Knowledge & Sustainability. The objectives of this social media strategy are to use social media to: 1) Train people to become more media and information literate and to 2) Raise awareness about the importance of media and information literacy.

From early on, the UNAOC recognized the paramount importance that MIL has in building peaceful societies, where individuals from different cultural and religious backgrounds live side by side in harmony.
This publication is one of the outcomes of a series of media and information literacy teacher training workshops that the UNAOC co-organized in 2013 and 2014 in Fez, Morocco and in Cairo, Egypt.
