Special emphasis will be placed on the youth, at the Global MIL Week Youth Agenda Forum, to take place on 26 October, 2018, at the University of Latvia, in Riga, Latvia.

Young people’s voices will resonate loudly in the global commemoration of MIL Week as well as the feature events. Youth will be engaged not just as target groups for MIL training but also as actors and as part of the solution to achieve media and information literate societies.
