Cátedra UNESCO, comunicação, literacia mediática, cidadania, democraciaResumo
Numa era marcada pela hiperconectividade digital e por profundas alterações na forma como os indivíduos interagem com a informação e entre si, a disseminação da desinformação e da polarização desafia os fundamentos das sociedades democráticas e o pleno exercício da cidadania. Este artigo apresenta a Cátedra UNESCO de Comunicação, Literacia Mediática e Cidadania, da Escola Superior de Comunicação Social, do Politécnico de Lisboa (ESCS-IPL). Baseada nos valores da UNESCO, esta Cátedra responde aos desafios contemporâneos dos media através da investigação, educação e envolvimento cívico. Este artigo situa a Cátedra no contexto nacional e internacional, e descreve a sua missão, valores, objetivos e principais atividades. É sublinhada a ambição da Cátedra de contribuir para o avanço da literacia mediática como uma ferramenta vital para sociedades inclusivas, informadas e participativas.
