The proposal originates from a collaboration that took place in August and September 2023 in the offering of the discipline “Global Media Education” offered by the University of Lapland in collaboration with the Educational University of Hong Kong, and which had the specific participation of USP in this offering. This collaboration is part of the network coordinated by the University of Lapland and UNESCO that USP joined in June 2023 through the Faculty of Education “UNITWIN/UNESCO Network on Teacher Education for Social Justice and Diversity in Education”. Therefore, the present proposal “Global Media Literacy” seeks to involve researchers from the aforementioned network with other institutions from Brazil, Japan, China - Hong Kong, South Korea and South Africa, aiming to offer students an international perspective with institutions and researchers from different continents to address an emerging theme “Media Literacy” in a context of expansion of misinformation, scientific denialism, discrediting of institutions and hate speech. There is a need to address these problems that undermine democracy, truth and justice, which universities on different continents need to deal with. For this reason, the proposal, in addition to addressing a global theme in the training of postgraduate students, also aims to foster collaboration among researchers from the institutions involved in order to cooperate in transnational research, teaching and extension projects.
