ABSTRACT

Conflicts between young immigrants and older native populations are widely recognized as a challenge in different parts of the world. In the European context, the following paper focuses on presenting the research results of a community-based project entitled “ICT Guides” conducted in Gothenburg (Sweden), Sheffield (the United Kingdom), Madrid (Spain), and Berlin (Germany), in which we investigated the features and functions of the intergenerational learning of immigrant youth and unrelated seniors using ICT tools. We claim that both groups perceive intergenerational learning with the use of ICT as a chance to get to know the other group despite the age and cultural differences. Through the use of ICT tools in intergenerational learning, digital tools can help those who lack a good command of language when communication problems occur. ICT facilitates mutual understanding and contributes to breaking down the polarization that can occur between immigrant youths and unrelated seniors, to the mutual benefit of both parties.

摘要

年轻移民与年长本地人口之间的冲突被广泛认为是世界不同地区的一项挑战。在欧洲背景下，以下论文重点介绍了在哥德堡（瑞典）、谢菲尔德（英国）、马德里（西班牙）和柏林（德国）开展的名为“ICT 指南”的社区项目的研究成果，其中我们研究了移民青年和无关老年人使用信息通信技术工具进行代际学习的特征和功能。我们声称，尽管存在年龄和文化差异，两个群体都认为利用信息通信技术进行代际学习是了解另一群体的机会。通过在代际学习中使用ICT工具，数字工具可以在出现沟通问题时帮助那些缺乏良好语言掌握的人。
