With the help of positive and negative examples and communication campaigns, participants will have the opportunity to understand different dynamics at the basis of gender stereotypes in communication. The workshop will propose campaigns from different periods, developed for different communication means (newspapers, TV, social media), in order to provide a wide overview.
Participants will be invited to reflect on possible use of gender stereotypes and on how they can influence people’s perception. They will examine products commercials, advertisements and social campaigns: some of them have been awarded for their sensitiveness, while other have been perceived negatively by consumers.
