🌟 Exploring Social Media and Multilingualism in the Winter School! 🌟

Today, December 10, 2024, we had the pleasure of hosting another inspiring session as part of the ESPERIDTA Winter School 2024, focusing on the theme: “Social Media and Multilingualism: Bridging Barriers in European Discourse – The Role of Instagram and Facebook.”

This session, conducted under the grant project “European Studies for Supporting Polish Education and Research in Digital Transformation: Interdisciplinary Approach” (Grant Agreement 101172710 - ERASMUS-JMO-2024-HEI-TCH-RSCH), explored the transformative power of social media in promoting multilingualism and cultural integration across Europe.

Key discussion points included:
🔹 The influence of Instagram and Facebook on preserving linguistic diversity and fostering cross-cultural communication.
🔹 How social media platforms act as bridges, overcoming language barriers and promoting inclusivity in the EU.
🔹 Strategies to utilize digital platforms to support endangered languages and multilingual education.
🔹 The evolving role of social media in shaping European identity and discourse.

The session was marked by lively discussions, innovative ideas, and collaborative insights from our talented students and dedicated project participants. Witnessing their engagement and enthusiasm was truly inspiring! 💬✨

This session reinforced the importance of leveraging digital innovation to celebrate linguistic diversity and foster a more united and inclusive Europe. 🇪🇺🌍

We look forward to continuing these critical conversations in the remaining sessions of the ESPERIDTA Winter School. Stay tuned for more updates and insights! 🚀
