INCLUDED
INCLUDED is an interdisciplinary participatory action research, is lead by Dr. Çiğdem Bozdağ and supervised by Prof. Dr. Yasemin Karakasoğlu (Universiteit van Bremen). The project focuses on intercultural digital media education for social inclusion of socioeconomically disadvantaged youth in the urban migration society.

Pilot Digital Inclusion
The Digital Inclusion Pilot is a collaboration between 18 societal partners who joined together in November 2018 in the Digital Literacy Coalition. In three research projects, we examine what are the conditions and barriers to digital inclusion from the perspective of citizens, and explore how digital inclusion can be promoted.

Digital literacies and digital inclusion of (digital-) low-literate citizens

Digital literacy in the library: Promoting digital inclusion and participation
This report presents the conclusions of the research project "Digital Literacy in the Library.
