DigiMig

Migrant generations in the digital society

What is DigiMig?

Migrant generations in digital society: a multi-level study of sociocultural factors influencing digital inclusion.​

The DigiMig project is led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Çiğdem Bozdağ at the University of Groningen. It investigates from an intersectional perspective how social and cultural factors influence digital inclusion in the Netherlands with a focus on migration together with other factors.  The project focuses on three key areas:

  • How digital media is used by families with a migration history, with attention to both parents and children.
  • How digital inclusion policies take cultural diversity into account.
  • How digital literacy is taught in schools with diverse student populations.
