Theme
Empirical evidence has shown the strong impact that the Internet, 
digital and social media have caused in Communication and Education 
ecosystems. But the revolution is far from consummate. In fact, the 
scenario keeps changing constantly due to the emergence of technological 
innovations, which makes new challenges arise day by day. This brings 
new risks that must be, first, understood and then, faced appropriately, 
but at the same time it makes this field so rich and stimulating for 
multidisciplinary researchers. In this context, studies about the use of 
social media and its effects in education, communication, political, 
cultural, or social events become significant. This fact is evident in 
those projects trying to understand the way social networks and digital 
media work. The entire potential of these phenomena is still unknown, 
but the need of education to comprehend it, use it properly and exploit 
all its possibilities is already certain. At the same time, societies 
are increasingly aware of the importance of social struggles for 
equality, respect and tolerance in terms of gender and sexuality, and 
education and media have much to do with them: educating in such values 
taking into consideration their potential opened by the new media is a 
relevant topic that needs further exploration. 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.
