Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

The purpose of this project is to create awareness in new generations about the rights and obligations they have as part of a digital society, freedom of expression and free will when deciding to be influenced by other characters on social networks or the Internet.

The main objective of our project is to campaign to raise awareness about the influence that the digital world has on our lives.

The secondary objectives of the project are:
Know the difference between Influencers, YouTubers, Bloggers and Actvistas.
Know who of these characters are the best known in the world and for what reason.
Decide freely who to follow on social networks, after knowing your virtual environment.
Raise awareness that virtual life is an important part of real life.

The research presents:
Graphs of the investigations in Social Networks and the most used web pages for these purposes.
Infographics warning of responsibilities as a digital citizen.

To publicize our research we created a YouTube channel, a website, users on social networks: Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
We looked for interviews carried out by experts with these characters and we did others to get to know them better and we integrated them into the investigation.
We use MS Excel, Wix, Thinglink, Padlet, Moovly, Powtoon, Canva and Genially

Finally we visit public places of recreation to share our project.
