One of these were the panels Andalucía Activ@, forums in which to reflect and critically analyze, and share, the problems affecting the development of equal citizenship. The present article analyzes both the structure of the proposed methodology and the communicative contents stated by the participants in a chat, whose topics are inserted into the development of the Knowledge Society: „Female citizens of the 21st century‟. The originality of this research lies in its emphasis on the development of equal citizenship beyond traditional public spaces.
