African creators take centre stage in the conversation about trust

A regional focus on responsible creation

UNESCO has announced a regional Media and Information Literacy Week gathering in Nairobi on 26–27 October 2026. Its hybrid programme will bring digital creators into discussions about the information people encounter online.

The planned agenda includes ethical production, fact-checking, responsible artificial intelligence, online safety and connections between new and traditional media. Workshops will explore practical tools for improving content.

The Enarrate perspective

For filmmakers, podcast hosts and radio producers, trust begins before publication. Checking a claim, distinguishing experience from evidence and giving a guest’s words their proper context are everyday editorial responsibilities.

Our view is that these habits strengthen purposeful storytelling. They help audiences understand an issue while respecting the people whose experiences bring it to life.

The gathering is forthcoming. Consult UNESCO’s official listing for the latest programme and participation information.
