Humanities, Literature & Arts (General) Crafts, Design & Arts Communication

The new social and citizen communication models of the digital age are characterised by a society that is close to immediacy, fragility and easy access to information, but also imbued with humanising values, challenges and projects. Digital media are considered a social and cultural product inherent to the human being. In this context, education becomes the necessary pillar for understanding and reflecting on their influence on the personal and interpersonal development of each individual. It is therefore necessary to train citizens with the skills, competences and abilities needed to be critical and active in the face of digital realities. In this sense, educational institutions (schools, colleges, universities...) must commit to the challenge of educating in an ethical, responsible and committed manner.

In the same vein, the preservation of universal values such as freedom is considered to be analysed and defended by various organisations, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of December 1948, which states that everyone has the right to full development and the strengthening of respect for human rights and freedoms (art. 26). Furthermore, UNESCO in 1960 and the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, adopted in Rome on 4 November 1950, allude to the need to support certain human rights and fundamental freedoms.
