Themed session -- Young People, New Media & Inter-cultural Exchanges
Organiser: Margarida Morgado

The emergence and effective use of new media, and in particular of modes
of electronic communication, has put young people in dialogue through
space and circumstance and opened up new modes of learning. New media
are connected to economic growth, business, but also to the field of
education and learning. New learning communities, formal and informal,
are frequently inter-cultural: they promote the sharing of ideas and
knowledge across age, families, regions, countries, languages, thereby
putting pressure on current educational practices and curricula but also
on notions of cultural identity.

Papers addressing any of the following aspects are welcome:
New media: informal, formal or less formal educational'places' of young
people
Problems, fears, advantages inherent to young people'sinteractions with
new media within or outside of the educative framework
New media in the classroom: new 'literacies',threats,dangers, creativity
and autonomy
New media's contributions to the formation of cultural identity
The cultural, social and economic diversity of new media
Young people's interaction with new media analysed in terms =
of inter-cultural exchanges.
