About the Course

What can be done when online hate speeches spreads into the physical world? The course is designed for educators who want to teach about Media and Information Literacy. It will focus on the spreading of prejudice and stereotypes online and their physical consequences offline. The course will explain the role played by the Internet and the mechanisms of its diffusion on social networks (trends and patterns of online extremism). This course will allow the participants to experiment hands-on the functioning of the Internet, define their own posture, and will give them the tools and recommendations to teach about it and prevent hate speech

In particular, students who want to apply for this course should complete the prerequisite course “Critical Media Literacy” in advance.
