This online course aims to empower activists to thrive in the digital network and mass electronic communication environment, within the context of municipal elections and the ongoing struggle against the fascist project still present in Brazilian political life. The classes aim to encourage a proactive attitude in disseminating information relevant to strengthening democracy and economic development, with income distribution and environmental sustainability, which are proposals of the Lula government.

The classes have a dynamic, didactic format and aim to reach an audience that does not necessarily have basic communication knowledge.

We will have 4 modules with 4 classes of 30 to 40 minutes each, for a total of 16 recorded classes made available weekly every Monday on the EAD platform. The course is certified by the Perseu Abramo Foundation.
