European discussion on social software and the inclusion of immigrants and minorities June 1, 2007
Posted by kieslinger in : Uncategorized , trackbackThe European Commission has recently started a discussion on whether and how social capital and ICT (Web2.0, social software) can contribute to the inclusion of different marginalized groups (e.g. marginalized youth) and minorities.
Apart from f2f workshops there is also a portal now, where people are asked to share their ideas, to point to relevant examples and to enter the discourse on this issue: http://www.ipolicy.eu/
Together with my college Rossalina Latcheva, who has been researching on migration and national Identification and ethnic exclusion for many years now we have started to brainstorm some project ideas on the provision of social software services to support the inclusion of marginalized young people, especially with migration background. The ideas are still very crude, but we are taking it up again now and hopefully we will be able to set up a research project within the next half year or so.
