[EN] Introduction to Module 2
How do we raise children? What values would we like to pass on?
- In the first unit, we will look at the key values parents on both sides of the Mediterranean consider very important when raising their children. The perspectives of the experts on the findings will shed light on the variety of worldviews in diverse socio-political and economic circumstances.
- In the second unit, we will review the expected role of women in the Mediterranean region in three main domains: economic and business life, political decision-making, and cultural and social life, observing the rates of men in favour of a greater role for women and the possibilities for the empowerment of women.
- In the third unit, we’ll take an in-depth look at how media reporting shapes societies’ perceptions by taking a closer look at our experts’ comments on media and mutual perceptions, and on the impact of news content and media in relation to recent events in the region.
- Finally, in the fourth unit, and following up on the previous one, we will explore the information sources people use and why they choose these.
