Description
Gender and ethnic inequality are still a reality in Portugal, confirmed by information related to the academic, media and social environment. Considering the importance and influence of the media in the production and reproduction of gender and ethnic notions in this social group, the project “(Des)Construir na Web” intends to hold awareness raising sessions with adolescents and young people of Coimbra public education network, that focus on how these issues are addressed in the media, especially disseminated in social networks. The sessions aim to raise awareness and educate for media literacy, foster civic awareness and active citizenship, as well as create an online platform to combat discrimination. The project is implemented through three steps: awareness raising sessions for adolescents and young people; creation and stimulation of an online platform to fight discrimination and a seminar in which we will be able to present the project results to civil society.
