Had a wonderful time at IDS 2025 in Leuven this week! 🌟
Joined as author (AI: Rethink, Regulate, Reimagine), presenter (poster on China’s information literacy MOOCs with Leen), and volunteer. Also glad to meet REMEDIS teammates offline and celebrate the Toolkit. Tired but very happy! 🥰

👏 Support this important call by the MILA @milalliance.bsky.social and its partners to make MIL a core part of the national curriculum.
✊Media and Information Literacy (MIL) should be essential in every school! Students need more critical thinking skills to navigate media and information.
