The Center for Media Research – Nepal (CMR-Nepal) organized a Training of Teachers program on media and information literacy (MIL) in three locations in Lumbini province.
The two-day trainings were held on April 29 and 30 in Nepalgunj; May 2 and 3 in Bardiya, and May 6 and 7 in Dang district. Each training was attended by 8 school educators.
In collaboration with USAID Nepal, PACT, and The Asia Foundation, educators from various schools participated in the Training of Teachers program under CMR-Nepal’s MIL Initiative.
The nation-wide MIL Initiative aims to counter misinformation, and hate speech, while also highlighting strategies to foster meaningful conversations among students within their school environments. The teachers will be provided support to organize MIL sessions at their schools.
CMR-Nepal has published two resource materials under the MIL initiative: MIL Handbook for Trainers and Let’s Be Aware: Correct Use of Information and Technology (both in Nepali) which are available for free download in our publication section.
