Il Debate per contrastare l’hate speech e promuovere competenze di cittadinanza digitale a scuola

Recovering the suggestions of Martin Buber (1991; 1997) about the education to confront and dialogue, the contribution aims to outline the opportunities for experimentation in the classroom the Debate (Cinganotto, Mosa & Panzavolta, 2019) – integrating the techniques of hate contrast, including counterspeech (Kohn, 2018) – to increase in students civic and digital skills essential for the onlife experience (Floridi, 2014). The analysis of hate speech as a complex and multidimensional phenomenon asks school contexts to become environments conducive to public debate and communication (CoE, 2022). In this sense, the article emphasizes the pedagogical need to re-humanize the relational dimension (Pasta & Santerini, 2021) in order to encourage expressive-communicative inclusive processes and socio-relational interactive dynamics.
