MIL education gathering

Unesco has once again called for attention to the increasing relevance of MIL education and the need for a multistakeholder approach. Participants from all over the world convened in Paris on May 27-28 to discuss MIL-related issues (e.g., policies, the relationship with computer or digital education etc.). As a result of the meeting, the draft version of a manifesto on MIL was released on May 28 (available at URL: http://www.unesco.org/new/fileadmin/MULTIMEDIA/HQ/CI/CI/pdf/news/paris_mil_declaration.pdf ; the final version will be available soon).
