The first edition of the Community of Practice took place today, July 23, at Universidade Lusófona – Porto University Centre. The event aimed to foster the exchange of experiences and the creation of synergies among researchers working in the field of literacies.
Based on a concept developed in the 1990s, a Community of Practice brings together individuals (the community) to share knowledge and discuss ideas grounded in their shared interests, methods, and experiences (the practices).
This session featured the presentation of five research projects targeting different audiences:
- Children and journalism, by Ana Cátia Ferreira (Fernando Pessoa University);
- Youth and climate action, by Daniela Ferreira da Silva (University of Minho);
- Seniors and disinformation, by Claudilene Perim (Universidade Lusófona – Lisbon University Centre);
- People with disabilities, accessibility, and board games, by Carla Sousa and Cátia Casimiro (Universidade Lusófona – Lisbon University Centre).
This event was organised by PhD candidate Margarida Maneta, in collaboration with the PhD Program in Communication and Activisms at Universidade Lusófona – Porto University Centre and the MeLCi Lab.
