"STEREOTYPES AND SOCIETY"
DESCRIPTION: Gender stereotypes and language. Even words can become violent.
Now that women occupy places that were until recently prohibited to them, we need a new language to describe this new reality.
The webinar, through a reflection on the use of controversial words, aims to shed light on the importance of changing the words to consolidate the necessary social change. Besides providing an arena for discrimination, words can also transmit hate. Recently, with the advent of social media and other communication tools with no geographical or time limits, the debate on hate speech has become increasingly relevant. What do we exactly mean by hate speech? What tools can be used to limit this phenomenon and promote a positive on-line debate, returning a positive valence to words that will provide for positive connections. The course aims to focus on this issue in terms of regulations and content, providing eudcational and cultural answers to halt the advance of hate speech.

"PREVENZIONE DEI RISCHI E FATTORI PROTETTIVI"
DESCRIPTION: The webinar addresses relationships (family, school, community) that can provide a protection to individuals, in particular to the most vulnerable categories, including adolescents, who are exposed to peculiar risk forms in addressing the virtual world. Risks include Internet dependence phenomena, which include different degrees of pathological use and abuse behaviour, which is very frequent amongst younger users. This dependence can be caused by different factors and include gender violence, observed both in social and scholastic contexts. In fact, these reproduce other characteristics of contemporary society, including the refusal to think about others, the affirmation of the strongest, the refusal to appear different or have issues, gender inequality and a legitimation of violence as a mechanism to acquire power in group contexts.
