bYou Mural

bYou Mural is an online platform created as part of the bYou project, which aims to provide a space for children and young people to participate and express themselves about media or other issues that affect them.

There are three main areas of participation on this website:

And a fourth section with information about the project: Want to know more?

The “Put Yourself to the Test!” area challenges website users to test their knowledge on different subjects by answering to short quizzes.

In the “What do you think about?” area, there are thematic cards with short questions on different topics. In a kind of brief informal questionnaire, children and young people can express themselves on topics suggested by the platform through simple answers, such as choosing a colour, an emoji, a word or by submitting images, sounds or videos.

The “Mural of Expressions” area is the most important on the website. It’s where we can find different expressions that have already been received and organised. We can find drawings, reflective texts on the theme of media, podcasts and videos.

The interaction, participation and content collected through this platform are being analysed and some of the conclusions have already been presented at scientific meetings and are being prepared for various publications.
