The course “Intercultural aspects of argumentation, persuasion, manipulation, perception, and interpretation in European media discourses” offers an innovative approach to examining the complexities of media discourse in a multilingual and multicultural European context. This German-language course, structured around CHARM-EU’s principles of challenge-driven, accessible, research-based, and mobile education, focuses on developing critical media literacy skills. Students practice critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, teamwork, and digital literacy.
Students will engage with recent and contemporary German media discourses to discern methods of argumentation, persuasion, and manipulation, and their impact on public perception and interpretation.
