    Intercommunal Conference for Educators

  • The AHDR is organising a conference with the aim to empower educators to cultivate in students skills of digital citizenship, critical thinking, and responsible online engagement, promoting peace and intercultural understanding. The conference focuses on challenges such as misinformation, hate speech, and the influence of algorithms, particularly within an intercommunal context.

    Participants will be introduced to practical tools for analyzing digital content and addressing misinformation, while also taking part in experiential workshops and interacting with colleagues from both communities, contributing to the development of collaborative networks.
