| Abstract: |
When young people drop out of school they are in great danger of being
marginalized in society. Immigrants are another group of people who for
several reasons often find it difficult to become integrated into their new
home country. In both cases some less formal way of learning might help these
groups avoid social exclusion. Well thoughtout development and application of
new advanced technologies would be likely to level the way for continued
education, communication and democratic participation in society. The term
e-inclusion refers to these electronic means and how they could be applied to
hindering social exclusion. This study compares the situation of school
drop-outs and immigrants in Finland and Italy in the light of statistical
data. It paves the way for a European research and development project whose
aim is to study problems of e-inclusion in Finland and Italy empirically as
well as develop technological and pedagogical solutions to them. |
