The communicative potential of multinational communities to counter destructive ethno-rumors in modern Ukrainian society: a socio- political analysis
El potencial comunicativo de las comunidades multinacionales para contrarrestar los etno-rumores destructivos en la sociedad ucraniana moderna: un análisis sociopolítico
Abstract
The aim of the study was to provide a sociopolitical analysis of approaches and means to engage members of multicultural communities in active participation to counteract the effects of destructive ethnic rumors and build their own spaces for coexistence. The need for sociological research on the effects of rumors is highlighted by the importance of finding means to counteract their manipulative use for destructive purposes. The empirical research method used was a questionnaire survey with the aim of creating new opportunities for interaction between people of different backgrounds, for the sake of harmony and exchange of experiences and thus being able to establish partnerships between the cities participating in the Intercultural Cities Network of Ukraine (ICC-Ukraine). It is concluded that the research allows us to affirm the effectiveness of using the method of counteracting ethnic rumors “Antitumor” proposed by the program “Intercultural Cities” of the Council of Europe in Ukraine, as a systemic means of solving the problems of communicative interactions in multicultural communities.
