4th Seminar // March-April 2024
This seminar, developed by ILE in collaboration with the Residencia de Estu-diantes, continues the series held in 2021, 2022, and 2023 within its line of work on «Democracy and Tolerance». These seminars have addressed some of the challenges currently faced by our democracies, such as the rise of popu-lisms or illiberal political action patterns, which are testing our resilience as free societies. This year, the focus will be on the transformation of political communication, analyzing how disinformation, polarization, tribalism, and the growing influence of artificial intelligence in the public sphere pose significant threats to democracy. The seminar will also evaluate whether promoting media literacy and civic education can be useful in confronting the digital age, advan-cing the development of a more rational and discursive society, and preserving democratic foundations in an ever-evolving environment.
Estimated duration of each session: 90 minutes.
Seminar sessions will be conducted in Spanish, English and Italian, with simul-taneous translation into the other languages.
