The activities developed in this resource, from the Pestalozzi Programme, facilitate awareness and respect of human rights with a focus on social media and Web 2.0. Practitioners attending training conducted around this material gain knowledge on popular social networking sites and practices, and have the chance to develop and apply educational activities that make use of social networking.

Moreover, practitioners get familiar with and analyse the European Convention on Human Rights in relation to Web 2.0. They consider the production, use and misuse of media through a critical  approach to infringements of Human Rights, like cyberbullying for example. Finally, practitioners are trained to find positive and creative ways of using media for educational and leisure purposes.
