About the Course

What can be done when online hate speeches spreads into the physical world?  This closed 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 consequences offline. The workshop will explain the role played by Internet and the mechanisms of their diffusion on social networks (trends and patterns of online extremism). Using material found online, this course will allow the participants to experiment hands-on the functioning of Internet, define their own posture, and will give them the tools and recommendations to teach about it.

 

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