e-Engagement against violence
Tools for media and citizenship education

Area 11 – Scienze storiche, filosofiche, pedagogiche e psicologiche

Over the last years, due to globalisation and migration processes, neoliberal transformations of welfare states and shrinking labour markets populist parties and movements have emerged in a number of European countries. This context has provoked new forms of racism and discrimination, also through new media and social platforms. The European Project e-EAV (e-Engagement Against Violence), supported by the DAPHNE-programme 2012-2014, aimed at contrasting new right-wing populism and discrimination transmitted through digital media by promoting young people’s awareness of violent media contents and empowering them through civic engagement and media/digital literacy. The book presents the results of the project and provides tools that teachers and educators may use for media and citizenship education.

This publication has been produced with the financial support of the DAPHNE Programme of the European Union. The contents of this publication are the sole responsibility of the e-EAV partnership and can in no way be taken to reflect the views of the European Commission.
