The issues related with education and diffusion present some of the most challenging and urgent aspects in connection with communication and social media. Learning how to take advantage of these new forms of communication as a way to analyze societies or to educate its members (both children and adults) constitutes one of the opportunities with greatest potential in the new media scenario. Using new communication practices, technologies, platforms, or narratives becomes a very powerful tool to stimulate positive values or behaviors in current societies. From this approach, this track entitled “Communication, Education and Social Media” focuses on the uses of new media in educational contexts, on initiatives in which these media are seen as tools to observe and change society, and on experiences in which the possibilities and risks of digital and social media that shape the communication paradigm are analyzed.
