Carenzio, S. Ferrari, S. Pasta to academics, PhD students from the main universities in Italy working in the field of education, communication, e-learning, an event that brought together more than 100 participants.

The conference “New Literacies. New languages, new skills” reflects on the changed world of communication and information. The advent of platforms, the widespread mediatization, the protagonism of data and artificial intelligence are all phenomena that are transforming in depth the way to produce and share knowledge. There is a need to define new coordinates for culture and for a new humanism. The lesson of traditional literacy does not seem to be enough.
