Paraphrasing the well-known title by Raymond Carver (What we mean when we talk about love), writer Amanda Michalopoulou will take us on a headlong journey through the vast territories of the novel: ascents and descents of plot, lakes of condensed meaning, dried-up swamps of inspiration, and stormy seas where heroes and heroines swim-or simply float. Wear comfortable clothes where you can hide overflowing ideas, and bring plenty of questions.

The new cycle of the programme “School of No Bias”, called “What do the media and advertising really say about gender roles?”, aims to strengthen students’ media literacy, enhance educators’ skills so they can impart this knowledge to children, and raise awareness among media professionals about the perpetuation of gender stereotypes in media content.
