Накратко на български

Начинът, по който несъпроводените несовершенлетни бежанци използват технологиите, например социалните мрежи, е в центъра на анализа. Това помага за създаването на образователни инструменти, които да ги свържат с обществото и да ги предпазят от фалшиви новини или кибертормоз.

Media Literacy for Unaccompanied Refugee Youth - A Path to Integration

Between 2015 - 2018, there were more than 200,000 unaccompanied minors among asylum seekers registered in the EU. The main bulk of research focusing on the European migration crisis dealt with adult refugees’ digital media usage while on route. However, the journey does not end upon arrival, and for those coming without families, the road ahead is even more challenging. Unaccompanied children have to navigate through European public systems & cultures. This research project aimed to discover how unaccompanied minor refugees are using digital technology. This very important group has only just recently started to being addressed in academia. The overall objective of this project was to provide in-depth description of unaccompanied refugee children’s media use for developing educational tools that will enable them to become media literate and civically connected. The complimentary objectives of the research project: to improve the Fellow’s long term career outlook and to extend the host institution’s research capabilities. The final results of this project show that unaccompanied refugee youth has a complex relationship with digital technologies and social media. Our findings conclude that this relationship is influenced by many different conditions, such as the children's prior access to these technologies, their education level, or their language and digital skills. We found that mentors& guardians can have a major role in educating refugee kids on issues connected to media literacy. Therefore we created an app (Mentor + Media) that provides relevant answers to the most pressing issues refugee children face online;it also features a curated list of further resources that NGO experts can use for tackling issues such as cyberbullying or fake news.

Цел на проекта

According to Eurostat, 2015 saw 90,000 unaccompanied minor asylum seekers register in the EU. Refugee children pose considerable policy challenges: their integration in Europe is of utmost importance. Studies show that while refugee children have IT competences, they lack the ability to make critical media choices, and make informed decisions regarding their well-being. This project builds on the IT knowledge of young refugees in order to further their integration by developing media literacy pedagogic tools. Media literacy education is essential for empowering citizenship, for gaining skills to become drivers of economic growth, and not least to prevent radicalization. Media literacy, a necessary aspect of lifelong learning, enables young people to participate civically, to overcome disadvantage and to represent marginalized and missing voices. For developing these pedagogic tools, the Fellow will first research how unaccompanied minor refugees use digital technology and social media through fieldwork carried out in 3 EU countries. In the second research phase, the Fellow will conduct participatory action research (PAR) in collaboration with an NGO which specializes in PAR with refugee youth. These results will be used to design teaching materials for youth workers and teachers. The project is unique because it brings together the disciplines of education, media literacy and migration studies for offering solutions to a matter of pressing urgency: the integration of unaccompanied minor refugees. This project will serve to widen the professional horizon of the Fellow. She will acquire specific research skills (digital ethnography, participant action research, educational tools design) and transferable skills (PhD supervision, leadership, editorial skills, managing large-scale events). The project will lay the foundations for the Fellow's long-term career goals, and she will be propelled to the forefront of media literacy research.
