Overview of the contents
In this section, we focus on the migrants. Migrants are a vulnerable population in the digital world because of the numerous barriers they experience. These obstacles include language hurdles, a lack of digital skills, and financial limits that prevent access to appropriate hardware and software. As a result, while dealing with digital technologies in their host nations, migrants frequently feel overwhelmed and may turn to using domestic media, limiting their digital participation.
However, digital technologies provide countless potential to assist migrants and enhance their lives. Various organisations, schools, and language centres can function as multipliers to help migrants gain digital inclusion. Digital platforms facilitate information exchange, allowing migrants to seek knowledge and stay in touch with family and friends. Social media tools can also help you meet others with similar interests and network with locals.
Furthermore, digital technologies can help migrants with education, shopping, entertainment, and even language acquisition. They can also promote mobility by sharing services, assisting with family care tasks, and raising internet safety awareness. Migrants can benefit from digital technologies in many areas of their lives, including healthcare, social and political participation, and even earning money through online marketplaces. They can also generate and distribute media, so they become influencers.
