Call:
In the digital age, school-age children are increasingly digital 
consumers, highly exposed to different digital media – particularly 
mobile media -, and living immersed in a sea of data and information. If 
leveraged in an appropriate and meaningful way, digital technology can 
be a game changer for children from low-income households, for children 
with special needs, as well as for young migrants, and other vulnerable 
or at-risk groups – opening new doors to engage in social, political, 
and economic dynamics. However, if access is kept restricted, if 
children’s digital rights cannot be guaranteed or when media and 
information literacy (MIL) competencies are not promoted effectively, 
digital technology can lead to the amplification of existing divides. 
This can make it difficult for younger generations to enjoy the 
empowering potential that might flow from their interactions with 
technologies.

In this scenario, terms such as algorithms, attention economy, 
produsage, metaverse, digital citizenship and participation are more 
than buzzwords used in socio-political and economic discourses. They are 
key aspects and mediators of everyday life. Considering their impact, it 
is essential that these key terms are considered from multiple 
perspectives and through the lens of different stakeholders, including 
the government, academia, industry and civil society. Therefore, with 
our event, we aim to promote the establishment of such dialogues in 
order to join forces to prevent negative impacts, to promote the 
positive growth and engagement of younger generations with digital 
technologies, and to develop new pedagogies and transferable knowledge 
(Fedorov, Levitskaya & Camarero, 2016; Nupairoj, 2016).

We invite all students, researchers, practitioners, youth workers, NGO 
members, and others (ECREA and non-ECREA members) with expertise and/or 
interest in the topics of this pre-conference to participate and engage 
in roundtable discussions and participant-led sessions.
