Presenting Bridge-IT Thematic Network

Increasing migrations into the EU raise the question of the potential of ICTs for promoting the integration of migrants and cultural diversity in Europe. The participation of immigrants and ethnic minorities (henceforth IEM) in the information society is in fact one of the explicit goals set by the Riga Ministerial declaration on digital inclusion, in order to increase their possibilities for integration and social inclusion, creativity and economic participation. Pioneer initiatives have already been started throughout Europe over the last few years, but they are usually isolated, still poorly known and do not often involve stakeholders that might be interested in them and might contribute to their development. Therefore, there is a need for a “bridging” thematic network. Bridge-IT aims at:

* Raising awareness among relevant stakeholders on the potential of ICT for social integration and cultural diversity, but also on the need to develop projects in this field targeting immigrants or organizations who deal with immigrants on a daily basis
* Facilitating the encounter and better understanding among the key players of the value chain be at a national or European level.
* Providing key players with a better vision and first tools on how to improve / deploy at a larger scale their own activities, or on how to duplicate initiatives coming from other countries.
* Promoting the development of better and more accessible ICT solutions, services, contents that can contribute to the social integration of immigrants and to cultural diversity in Europe.
* Developing policy recommendations based on the several outputs
