Another of the objectives of this work is to raise awareness of media citizenship, the role of the citizen in the different paradigms of the city, the integral development of Media Literacy in the corporate and vehicular sector of transmedia communication and new ways of working in MIL Cities. Digital education and ethics in communication are presented as a key tool against disinformation.

Santiago Tejedor, director of the Gabinete de Comunicación y Educación, together with Felipe Chibás and Karin Miliani, writes the chapter “Cultural barriers to communication in the transformation of the campuses of the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona and the Universidad de São Paulo into MIL Cities Universities”.

The post “Media and Information Literacy (MIL) Cities” with the collaboration of Santiago Tejedor | Gabinete de Comunicación y Educación (UAB) appeared first on MIL Institute.

For Santiago Tejedor, principal researcher, “the guide is conceived as a particular cartography, which seeks to delimit different territories and thematic scenarios where communication, education, science, culture and technology are interconnected and offer innumerable ways of learning and growth. This document is to be conceived as an unfinished dialogue or as an unfinished journey”.

Among the guest authors are Gabriel Jaraba, Felipe Chibás Ortiz, Laura Cervi, Cristina Pulido Rodríguez and Diana Sanjinés, who reflect on Unesco’s MIL university cities, the university as intercultural dialogue, gender equality and interculturality in educational spaces.

The guide also analyses the different activities in which Planeta UAB: El viaje al otro – Iguales en las diferencias has collaborated:

– The Journey to Peace, IX Conference on Communication, Travel and Adventure, and IX Conference on Disinformation and the Environment.

– Disinformation and the Environment Conference

– Day in defence of information

– The Invisibles. New Ways of Walking and Telling the World, 10th Conference on Communication, Travel and Adventure

– UAB Planet Hackathon  

In addition, from November 2020 to May 2021, a survey was carried out among 221 UAB (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) students to analyse day-to-day life on the university campus. They were asked about the relationships established between students and teachers and their perception of different topics such as gender, religion, learning, the use of technology in their studies and students’ rights.
