Social Media

1º panel: Tech, Youth and Democracy

This panel will explore how younger generations are engaging socially and politically through technology, how they are innovating in their social activism and how they are addressing the challenges of disinformation in Europe. The panel will approach these issues from a risk-opportunity logic, trying to detect which factors may help to tip the balance on the side of strengthening democracy.
