This IMRAD-structured article examines theoretical and practical foundations for developing general cultural competencies through media and information literacy (MIL). The study aims to identify how MIL components—searching, selecting, evaluating and processing information, compliance with ethical and legal norms, and safe behavior in digital environments—support the growth of communication culture, critical thinking, civic responsibility, academic integrity, and aesthetic judgment. The research relies on literature analysis, a competency-based approach, elements of content analysis, and pedagogical design, resulting in a conceptual model of an integrative learning module and a rubric-based assessment framework. The conclusions highlight the need for interdisciplinary integration, teacher competency support, and transparent assessment procedures.
