This Blended Intensive Programme explores digital citizenship as a dynamic and contested concept shaped by discourse, power relations, and unequal access within digital environments. Using critical discourse analysis, students examine how digital platforms, algorithms, and online interactions influence visibility, participation, and voice in contemporary public spheres. Through experiential and collaborative learning, international student teams apply theory to practice by creating creative media projects that address digital issues they care about. The blended format supports inclusive, innovative learning while fostering critical thinking, digital literacy, intercultural collaboration, and reflective engagement with digital citizenship.
