Abstract
As intercultural communication in language teaching is extending to citizenship education, there is an increasing need for research focusing on the implementation of theory into practice. With Critical Pedagogy as its driving principle, this chapter examines an online international project between language undergraduates within Argentina and the UK as an approach to human rights education in language teaching. It provides an overview of the pedagogical interventions designed to enhance awareness of democratic participation by empowering the students to become ‘transformative intellectuals’, engaged in self and social change through knowledge and action. The findings show the educational value of the project through the development of intercultural citizenship competences, such as decentring, empathy and solidarity, whilst creating an international community of ‘naming’ the world through photos, quotes, images, symbols and slogans.
