Description

The project takes on new challenges in the world of the internet and social networks, where human rights merge with digital ones. The project’s goal is to reveal to what extent are i.e. ethnical or gender stereotypes used within persuasive, manipulative strategies on online social networks. 

The project will raise awareness of the public about digital rights and the need to protect the vulnerable social groups in the digital space; create new standards of transparency within persuasive strategies in communication concerning digital (human) rights and develop methodical documents stating the applied outcomes of the analysis; engage the latest up-to-date technologies in approach to the analysis of the digital social networks to protect human rights; develop new educational materials (both as an educational programme for teachers at the university, as well as a training course for the police and judges).
