Abstract(s)
The XXI century is marked by the unprecedented digitalization of communication, and though the benefits of digital media are undeniable, their indiscriminate and uncritical use has brought disinformation, misinformation, fake news, hatred, and intolerance menacing the sustainability of tolerant, inclusive, and democratic societies. The UNESCO Chair on Communication, Media Information Literacy and Citizenship is a recent ESCS/IPL proposal, created in 2023, whose main aim is to raise awareness on democratic societies through effective communication dissemination of research findings, insights, and best practices, and empowering individuals to actively participate in shaping their communities and addressing global challenges through the collaborative development of actions and projects aimed at building sustainable societies and enhancing knowledge for climate action. In this presentation we will try to unpack how this
ESCS/IPL’s UNESCO Chair faces the diverse challenges that communication and media literacies assume today as key literacies for empowering all citizens, without exception.
