Global Citizenship Programme A.Y. 2024/2025

MODULE CONTENTS Truth or Trap? How Misinformation Builds or Breaks Inclusion In an increasingly polarised media landscape, the spread of fake news and the persistence of stereotypes pose serious challenges to the creation of inclusive societies. This module critically examines how information can either reinforce or counteract social and cultural discrimination. Through real-life examples, case studies, and media literacy tools, participants will explore strategies to recognise misinformation, deconstruct biased narratives, and promote communication that is fair and respectful of diversity. The workshop will actively engage participants in reflecting on how media shapes perceptions and societal norms, encouraging a more informed and responsible approach to communication. Participants will be invited to analyse various media sources, discuss their impact on inclusion or exclusion, and share their own experiences with media in different cultural contexts. They will also collaborate in developing practical guidelines for identifying misinformation and fostering inclusive dialogue across cultural and social differences. WHO The workshop will be facilitated by Sara Santilli, Professors at the University of Padova, Department of FISPPA, with expertise in critical knowledge and social inclusion.
