Preface
While the digital has become omnipresent, digital citizenship education in the foreign language classroom is a recent development. This book comprises products that were created in a university course entitled ‘Digital Education in the Foreign Language Classroom’ in the summer semester 2023 at the University of Munich. Our starting point was the large amount of hate speech, fake news and negativity online. We conducted research to identify these issues and critically reflected on how this negativity impacts our lives, our personalities and, possibly, entire generations. In the sense of digital citizenship education, our goal was then to counteract this negativity, spread hope, positive news and solutions and so make a difference. The memes we developed for this purpose address problems related to the digital world but at the same time try to encourage people to be hopeful, positive and peaceful.
Enjoy our memes and spreading digital positivity,
