ENHANCING DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP AWARENESS THROUGH PARTICIPATORY MOBILIZATION OF MARGINAL COMMUNITIES IN SOUTH SALENTO

Corrado Russo, Salvatore Colazzo, Maria Ratta

Abstract


Marginalized communities are affected by macroeconomic imbalances, with negative consequences in terms of access to education and democratic exercise of constitutional rights. This paper aims to highlight how these effects can be mitigated by fostering a new aware digital citizenship able to support its own territory in fighting inequalities through enhancing relational assets and promoting participatory planning in tackling educational poverties.

Keywords


Social inequalities; relational assets; digital citizenship; participatory planning; marginal communities.
