IMPLICATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MIL TRAINING More education on how to respond to hate and
radicalization online is urgently needed;
MIL courses should enable all people to understand that reducing supply of hate and radical content online through censorship is neither feasible nor effective (FOE issues)
Focus on reduce demand for such content
![Page 37: UNESCO - MEDIA AND INFORMATION LITERACY …...UNESCO - MEDIA AND INFORMATION LITERACY RESEARCH Youth Perspectives on Online Hate, Extremist and Radical Content – Some Preliminary](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040212/5e91e5d607981171056f66fe/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
IMPLICATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MIL TRAINING Effectiveness of choosing not to watch.
Young people are being exposed to radical content both purposefully and accidentally.
A proliferation of MIL MOOCs in multiple languages and designs is needed.
![Page 38: UNESCO - MEDIA AND INFORMATION LITERACY …...UNESCO - MEDIA AND INFORMATION LITERACY RESEARCH Youth Perspectives on Online Hate, Extremist and Radical Content – Some Preliminary](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040212/5e91e5d607981171056f66fe/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
IMPLICATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MIL TRAINING Inaction to hate and radical content is dangerous so too is fighting hate with hate.
Social media dominance, counter measures must also increase in social media…. MIL CLICKS.
Young people need to be exposed to more positive youth mentorship online. This requires purposeful investment of resources.
![Page 39: UNESCO - MEDIA AND INFORMATION LITERACY …...UNESCO - MEDIA AND INFORMATION LITERACY RESEARCH Youth Perspectives on Online Hate, Extremist and Radical Content – Some Preliminary](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040212/5e91e5d607981171056f66fe/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
IMPLICATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MIL TRAINING
MIL courses should focus more on the positives of media and Internet and not only the negatives.
MIL programmes must be uniquely designed to target youth in rural and remote communities.
Social media dominance, counter measures must also increase in social media…. MIL CLICKS.

IMPLICATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MIL TRAINING
Stronger bridges for peace must be built across, MIL, intercultural and interreligious competences, global citizenship education and basic education.
![Page 42: UNESCO - MEDIA AND INFORMATION LITERACY …...UNESCO - MEDIA AND INFORMATION LITERACY RESEARCH Youth Perspectives on Online Hate, Extremist and Radical Content – Some Preliminary](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040212/5e91e5d607981171056f66fe/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
IMPLICATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MIL TRAINING Hate and radical content online is on the increase and
will not go away. Systematic and sustainable approaches are needed:
National MIL policies and strategies
National Curricula on MIL and radicalization plus integration in formal education
Monitoring and assesment frameworks
