EMPODERAMIENTO DE CIUDADANOS INMIGRANTES MEDIANTE EL DISEÑO PARTICIPATIVO DE PLATAFORMAS SOCIALES DIGITALES
Abstract and Figures
El proyecto APPS4ME (www.apps4me.es), impulsado por diferentes investigadores de la Facultad de Educación de la Universidad de Barcelona, pretende aportar mayor conocimiento sobre los usos de las tecnologías de personas migradas en la ciudad de Barcelona, para contribuir al desarrollo de proyectos encaminados hacia una acción comunitaria que permita dar respuesta a la exclusión social y digital. En concreto, el propósito es trabajar con comunidades de personas inmigrantes en riesgo de exclusión social mediante la metodología del diseño participativo, la cual fomenta la democracia participativa y da voz a los participantes que están involucrados desde el inicio del desarrollo del proyecto.
Partimos de la propuesta de que el uso de las redes sociales y las tecnologías digitales móviles tienen un gran potencial inclusivo en este ámbito. Hay una gran cantidad de recursos y actividades de aprendizaje asociados a contextos específicos locales que pueden ser beneficiosos. El proyecto se centra en la búsqueda del diseño y la implementación de ecosistemas que permiten el empoderamiento de la comunidad inmigrante a través de actividades geolocalizadas, dispositivos móviles y redes de aprendizaje social.

... Esta es un área de investigación relativamente nueva, y "no ha habido intentos de exploraciones más profundas de los aspectos de información de esta crisis" (Lloyd, 2017, p.35). Los investigadores han descubierto que las nuevas tecnologías juegan un papel importante en la promoción de la cultura de los países receptores que mezclan poblaciones minoritarias y mayoritarias (Ayuste et al., 2017;Giglitto et al., 2019). De acuerdo con Giglitto et. ...
... arias (Ayuste et al., 2017;Giglitto et al., 2019). De acuerdo con Giglitto et. al. (2019), "las tecnologías podrían desempeñar un papel importante para facilitar la participación de las comunidades en riesgo de exclusión (particularmente los migrantes y refugiados) en actividades culturales y relacionadas con el patrimonio" (p. 3). Por otra parte, Ayuste et. al. (2017) afirma que las nuevas tecnologías son muy utilizadas (principalmente los smartphones) a pesar de que no hay una formación específica, y que las personas migrantes señalan la necesidad de un mayor conocimiento y dominio del entorno en el que viven (p 54). ...
... ). Once they are settled down, mobile phones are used to manage daily challenges: being in contact with family or social peers, as a language learning tool, for geographical orientation or as a tool to access to different types of information on Researchers have found that new technologies play an important role in promoting the culture of the host-countries mixing both minority and majority populations(Ayuste, Escofet Roig, González Mediel, Gros Salvat, Llobet Estany, Payá Sánchez & Zhang Yu, 2017;Giglitto, Ciolfi, Claisse & Lockley, 2019). According toGiglitto et. ...
This is the first report of the OER TOWN project. OER TOWN is an Erasmus+ project from the call 2019 KA2 Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices, specifically, it is a project that aims to create strategic partnerships for adult education. Six associations from six different countries work together in this project.
Using the power of technology, OER Town project aims to help migrants and refugees discover the new environment in order to achieve a faster and smoother integration to the local community. Through the development of a digital tool, in this case an app for smartphones, OER Town intends to sustain migrants in discovering the hosting place they start living in after fleeing from their home country.
Today’s technologies have contributed strongly to the diversity and intensity of international migration, such that they may be considered an inherent aspect of migration. Migrants’ use of technologies has received increasing attention from researchers. Moreover, because the current research on technology use by migrants comprises a variety of research objects, it is difficult to gain an overall understanding of the field. Based on a literature review, this article proposes an overview of the field of technologies and migration as a “mapping” of the main research objects examined in this field.
Based on representative surveys on Internet use, this article advances comparative research on the second-level digital divide by modeling Internet usage disparities for five countries with narrowing access gaps. Four core Internet usage types are constructed and predicted by sociodemographic variables in a structural model. Overall, the findings confirm the recently identified shift in the digital divide from access to usage in five further countries. Results show that sociodemographics alone account for up to half of the variance in usage in these high-penetration countries, with age being the strongest predictor. Measurement invariance tests indicate that a direct comparison is only valid between three of the five countries explored. Methodologically, this points to the indispensability of such tests for unbiased comparative research.
Immigration is a major component of population change for countries across Europe. However, questions remain about where immigrants go after they arrive in a new country. What are the patterns of internal migration of minorities (immigrants and their descendants), and what are the causes and implications of these flows? Migration within a nation state is a powerful force, redistributing the population and altering the demographic, social and economic composition of regions, cities and neighbourhoods. Yet relatively little is known about the significance of ethnicity in migration processes, or how population movement contributes to immigrant and ethnic integration. Minority internal migration is an emerging field of academic interest in many European countries in the context of high levels of immigration and increased political interest in inter-ethnic relations and place-based policies. This book brings together experts in the fields of migration, ethnicity and diversity from across Europe to examine patterns of residential mobility of minorities, and to synthesise key themes, theories and methods. The analyses presented make important contributions to theories of migration and minority integration and may inform policies that aim to respond to local population change and increasing diversity. The conclusions of the book form an agenda for future research on minority and immigrant internal migration in developed societies.
Although there is now a large body of empirical research on neighbourhood effects, we know relatively little about the causal mechanisms responsible for relationships between neighbourhood attributes and individual outcomes. A list of 15 potential causal pathways which may lead to neighbourhood effects is given, grouped into four categories: social-interactive mechanisms, environmental mechanisms, geographical mechanisms, and institutional mechanisms. The ultimate goal of neighbourhood effects research is not only to identify which mechanisms are responsible for neighbourhood effects, but also to quantitatively ascertain their relative contributions to the outcome under investigation. A pharmacological metaphor of dosage-response is used to understand how the theoretical mechanisms could be causally linked to individual outcomes. This metaphor refers to questions regarding the composition and the administration of the neighbourhood dosage, and the neighbourhood dosage-response relationship. This chapter concludes that despite the ever growing literature on neighbourhood effects, there is far too little scholarship to make many claims about which causal links dominate for which outcomes for which people in which national contexts and any conclusions on the existence of such effects should be treated as provisional at best. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
