The project has been operating since 2019 and is still under development, in order to maximize the potential for disseminating scientific knowledge through the social networks Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, used as tools for science communication. The main objective is to inform the community outside the academic community and promote the importance of propagating and encouraging activities that take place within university walls, especially related to linguistic studies. Thus, the primary intention is to minimize the distance between society and academia by promoting the democratization of scientific knowledge, with special concern for ease of access and understanding by the lay public and also with the stimulation of critical thinking.</p> ER -
