AB Working with memes created by the students themselves can be an effective way to engage them in the learning process. In response to this, the effectiveness of using them as an educational resource in the classroom has been explored. This initiative, carried out by teachers from two Spanish universities, aims to develop in students competencies related to synthesis, critical thinking, creativity, among others, and addresses the problem of providing an adequate response to the demand for education that promotes skills in an increasingly diverse and technological classroom environment. The objectives are to investigate how the use of memes can contribute to the development of these competencies and to raise awareness of their educational potential beyond mere humorous use. The methodology of working with students includes a theoretical part, followed by a more practical one (learning by doing), involving them in their creation, and concluding with a competition to evaluate the creations. The results show their effectiveness in promoting teaching competencies. Additionally, they promote an active learning approach, foster engagement, synthesis and understanding skills, effective communication, and adaptation to the digital culture.
