The “Guidelines for the Development of Media Information Literacy Policy in Bosnia and Herzegovina” identifies key principles and defines guidelines to prepare a media information literacy (MIL) programme and its implementation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It offers a vision of the way ahead, through informing the drafting of the BiH MIL Policy strategic programme and its annual action plans focusing on key areas of intervention. The document supports the adaption of a Media Information Literacy Strategy Programme and appointment of a public body responsible for promoting and coordinating the MIL programme.
Media and Information Literacy: for human rights and democracy, Bosnia and Herzegovina (MIL) 01/09/2020 - 31.12.2022
The Media and Information Literacy: for Human Rights and More Democracy project will make a contribution to increasing media and information literacy in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in line with Council of Europe and international standards, in particular in regard to the media literacy-related provisions of the Recommendation CM/Rec (2018)1 of the Committee of Ministers to member States on media pluralism and transparency of media ownership.
In more concrete terms, the project has two main objectives:
- first, strengthening BiH key MIL stakeholders’ capacity to understand and contribute to the creation; subsequent implementation; and monitoring and evaluation of a strategic, state-wide MIL framework.
- second, increasing awareness of MIL stakeholders of the importance and complexity of MIL in the specific context of BiH; and stakeholders’ capacities to create and promote MIL content.
The objectives of the project will be met through two main components planned between 2020 and 2022, namely:
- Strengthening knowledge, skills and capacities of the CRA to advance European standards for regulation, self-regulation and co-regulation aimed at improving the performance of and trust in the media, including as part of an overall policy and strategic framework for Media and Information Literacy in BiH.
- Developing research and creating specific MIL content, aimed at enhancing the awareness of MIL stakeholders of the importance and complexity of MIL, in particular in the context of BiH.
