Cartoons and citizenship: Cartooning for Democracy and Peaceful Elections<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This two-year project supported by the European Union in C\u00f4te d’Ivoire will place press cartoons at the heart of an approach<\/strong> aimed at promoting freedom of expression<\/strong> and strengthening democratic culture<\/strong> while combating hate speech<\/strong> and disinformation<\/strong> in the Ivorian electoral context.<\/p>\n

The project is a long-term project aimed primarily at the Ivorian youth<\/strong>, tomorrow\u2019s citizens through civic education, media and information literacy<\/strong>, in the perspective of the forthcoming elections but also to make them ambassadors of a democratic culture<\/strong> to the whole of Ivorian society.<\/p>\n

Relying on a proven methodology, the partners will develop pedagogical and awareness-raising tools<\/strong> that will be circulated in the country’s schools and will organize civic education and media and information literacy meetings between press cartoonists and pupils<\/strong>. These meetings will be an opportunity to interact<\/strong> with young people and learn about their aspirations, to advocate for a culture of peaceful debate<\/strong>, but also to develop their critical thinking skills<\/strong> in order to combat hate speech and misinformation<\/strong>. These exchanges will then feed into the content of a national awareness-raising campaign<\/strong> aimed at the general public for peaceful elections to be deployed in the context of the 2020 presidential elections and beyond.<\/strong><\/p>\n

By meeting with press cartoonists, learning how to read the content that the cartoon conveys and the dissemination process, the project has the cross-cutting objective of strengthening confidence in the media and promoting freedom of expression<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The partnership with Internews<\/strong> participates in the efforts of actors to promote democracy and peaceful elections in Ivory Coast and is fully integrated in the implementation of the project.<\/p>\n
