MEDIA LITERACY AND INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUE<br />

Strategies, Debates and Good Practices<br />

<br />

active participation of all involved in the process and the emergence of the<br />

plurality of knowledge present in the group.<br />

Another advantage inherent in participatory action research methodology is the<br />

strengthening of the creative and critical skills in the participants who apprehend<br />

their reality and find new answers to the dilemmas that it proposes everyday. In<br />

this sense it is intended that participants redefine their experience and that of<br />

others, so that their learning is contextualized in daily life and adjusted to the<br />

peculiarities of their development.<br />

5. Objectives of the training process<br />

5.1. General objective<br />

The process aims to train women's associations in the municipality of Pamplona<br />

in the use of ICT as a tool of empowerment in relation to the perception of<br />

themselves and for the recovery of historical memory.<br />

5.2. Specific objectives<br />

• To promote the acquisition of basic skills in the use of Information<br />

Technology and Communication.<br />

• To create opportunities for debate and exchange of ideas, reviews,<br />

interpretations, etc among the group of participating women on the<br />

evolution of their role in society and existing gender inequalities.<br />

• To develop the themes addressed during the workshops through the<br />

support of ICT. This is done through the collection of personal dossiers<br />

images and texts.<br />

• To edit a printed document containing all the experiences of women<br />

participating in the workshop.<br />

The workshop participants themselves proposed to delve into the contents of<br />

computer management, to make them feel more comfortable and motivated.<br />

The theme was chosen was the recovery of historical memory.<br />

There were 31 women participating in the workshops with an average age of 55<br />

years. Most participants were either unemployed with a very meagre social<br />

support allowance or employed in small firms. Of the 31 women who<br />

participated in the workshops, 16 were enrolled in primary school, 4 were<br />

enrolled in secondary school and 11 had reached the baccalaureate level. All<br />

the women carried out domestic work and took care of the family unaided by<br />

their spouses. Of the 31 women, 20 were heads of their household because the<br />

husband had abandoned them and left them unaided taking care of their<br />

children. 85% of the participants admitted to having been victims of domestic<br />

violence at least once in their life.<br />
