PROJECT

Play your Role project approved for funding by the European Commission.

The Project “Play your Role” has just been approved for funding by the European Commission under the program “Rights, Equality and Citizenship”.

“Play your Role” results from a partnership between 7 international institutions (Italy, Lithuania, Germany, Portugal, Poland and France) among which we can find CIAC (UAlg) as one of the participating partners. The national project team is composed by the researchers Vítor Tomé, Mirian Tavares and Bruno Mendes da Silva.

The challenge that this project proposes is the reinforcement of positive behaviors in adolescents through video games, promoting the awareness and understanding of xenophobic and racist hate speech online, through the creation of new pedagogical tools (online narratives in the form of game activities), for teachers and youth animators, to consolidate empathy.
