Objectives

The aims of the project was to support migrantorganizations (MSOs) to gain autonomy to integrate into Europe through access to information and online information production. More specifically to identify the skills needed for migrants to access online information and produce resources. Also to co-construct elements of a training system to facilitate migrants' access to online and digital information Production

Background

Access to information is a fundamental right. The UN passed a resolution on July 5, 2012 establishing that "every individual has the right to connect and express him/herself freely on the Internet." Internet access is recognized as a fundamental right. In the case of migrants, Article 19 takes on its full meaning: In a context of dematerialization of administrative exchanges, of remote access to information such as housing, employment or training, migrant people are currently experiencing a situation of digital exclusion due to lack of digital skills. As a response to the lack of digital skills for migrants, many migrant support organizations (MSOs) have developed digital training. It is clear that : - Most of these trainings use language and writing, additional barriers to accessing information ; - Few of them use the resources available to migrants (smartphones, social networks...); - Few of them also aim at producing information- The skills acquired are difficult to transfer from one country to another and it is therefore necessary to wait until migrants are further along in their journey to have access to them, whereas this progress is conditional on obtaining digital skills; - The digital uses of migrants are not well known
