The Global Media Education course is offered free of charge and with the participation of professors from Universities in Africa, Asia, South America and Europe. Global Media Literacy emphasizes the need for a new social contract for education to redress injustices while transforming the future. This course introduces students to current research topics in media education, especially the importance of AI literacy, disinformation, intercultural dialogue, digital storytelling, and global perspectives on critical media literacy. The proposal originates from a collaboration that took place in August and September 2023 in the offering of the discipline “Global Media Education” offered by the University of Lapland in collaboration with the Educational University of Hong Kong, and which had the specific participation of USP in this offering. This collaboration is part of the network coordinated by the University of Lapland and UNESCO that USP joined in June 2023 through the Faculty of Education “UNITWIN/UNESCO Network on Teacher Education for Social Justice and Diversity in Education”. Therefore, the present proposal “Global Media Literacy” seeks to involve researchers from the aforementioned network with other institutions from Brazil, Japan, China - Hong Kong, South Korea and South Africa, aiming to offer students an international perspective with institutions and researchers from different continents to address an emerging theme “Media Literacy” in a context of expansion of misinformation, scientific denialism, discrediting of institutions and hate speech. There is a need to address these problems that undermine democracy, truth and justice, which universities on different continents need to deal with. For this reason, the proposal, in addition to addressing a global theme in the training of postgraduate students, also aims to foster collaboration among researchers from the institutions involved in order to cooperate in transnational research, teaching and extension projects.

In addition to the virtual meetings synchronous (by Google Meeting) organized for weekly sessions, that is, part of the classes taught, participants must carry out previously indicated readings, since which has its concept expanded to not only the video or the synchronous session. Support materials will be made available in electronic or digital format, encouraging students to consume in such formats, avoiding the need for printing due to sustainability principles (to reduce printed materials), except in necessary cases. The support materials will be based on the principles of OER – Open Educational Resources, guaranteeing the right to intellectual property.
