This seminar, the ILE developed in collaboration with the Residencia de Estudiantes, gives continuity to those held in 2021, 2022 and 2023 within their line of work on "Democracy and tolerance". They have addressed some of the issues they face currently our democracies, such as the expansion of populism or the patterns of political action iliberales, they are putting to the test our resilience as free societies. This year will be devoted to the transformation of political communication, analyzing how the disinformation, polarization, tribalism, and the growing influence of artificial intelligence in the public sphere constitute major threats to democracy. The seminar will also assess whether the promotion of media literacy and civic education can be useful to address the digital era, progress in the development of a more rational and discursive and preserve the democratic foundations in an environment in constant evolution.
