Mobile Learning Week 2013

UNESCO will hold the Second UNESCO Mobile Learning Week (MLW) from 18 to 22 February 2013 at its Headquarters in Paris, France.

The theme of MLW 2013 is mobile learning and EFA goals

The event aims to explore mobile learning as a unique and significant contribution to achieving the Education for All (EFA) goals of increasing education access, quality and equality. MLW 2013 will focus on three particular EFA goals as they relate to mobile learning:

  • Improving levels of adult and youth literacy: how mobile technologies can support literacy development and increase reading opportunities.
  • Improving the quality of education: how mobile technologies can support teachers and their professional development.
  • Achieving gender parity and equality in education: how mobile technologies can support equal access to and achievement in basic education of good quality for all, in particular for women and girls.

MLW 2013 consists of three separate events:

SYMPOSIUM ON MOBILE LEARNING - 18-19 February, Paris
