Building connections between learning inside and outside of the classroom. Which is possible with the aid of media and information literacy (MIL). A set of various and overlapping competences. The need for these skills is constantly growing throughout the world thanks to the internet. Libraries and actual book reading are still important, and this event wants to encourage.
