Proposal to UNESCO for the project. Training the Trainers in Information Literacy Project, September 2007

摘要

Over the last six or seven years, since the concept of Information Literacy has emerged prominently on the world stage, UNESCO has provided leadership in co-sponsoring three major international Information Literacy (IL) Expert Meetings (Prague 2003, Alexandria 2005 and Ljubljana 2006), attended by a total of over 100 world experts from nearly 50 different countries. In addition, all of the world's major geographic regions-the Middle East/North Africa, Sub-Sahara Africa, Asia, Oceania, Latin America/Caribbean, Europe, and North America have each held their own regional, sub-regional and individual country IL seminars, colloquia and workshops. All of those meetings were held to afford world, regional and country IL experts a first-of-its-kind opportunity to come together in one place, face-to-face, to exchange ideas, strategies and plans for launching promising IL projects, and interchanging best practices IL experiences, but in their own countries.
