(8 May 2013) Hong Kong is about to embark on the era of web 3.0 in which media and information technology will be more embedded into our lives than ever. Alongside the transformation from an industrial society to a knowledge-based society, the younger generations will have to develop the required abilities and literacy to cope with the needs of the future so that they can work and live comfortably.
The Institute for Journalism and Society under the School of Communication of the Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) and The Committee on Home-School Co-operation will jointly hold a seminar on Media & Information Literacy in the 21st Century on Saturday 11 May 2013, 2.30pm to 5.15 pm at Tsang Chan Sik Yue Auditorium (AAB201), Level 2, Academic and Administration Building, Baptist University Road Campus, HKBU, 15 Baptist University Road, Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong.
