[Amelia Johns]

Dear Sydney based colleagues,

Myself and co-authors Anita Harris, Gilbert Caluya, Jessica Walton, Emily Booth, Patricia Alves and Alexandra Lee are inviting you to the launch of the final report on our ARC project: Fostering Global Digital Citizenship: Diaspora Youth in a Connected World. The launch will be held on May 29th, at UTS Building 1, Ultimo, 5-7pm. The program includes a 20-30 minute report presentation by the research team, followed by a 15-minute panel discussion and brief Q and A. The panel will feature stakeholders who support young people's digital citizenship and invited guests from academia. After the main event food and drinks will be served. All welcome, but registration is essential and seating is limited so please RSVP here: Fostering Global Digital Citizenship: Diaspora Youth in a Connected World report launch<https://events.humanitix.com/fostering-global-digital-citizenship-diaspora-youth-in-a-connected-world-report-launch>

About the report: The report's findings highlight gaps and opportunities in designing and teaching digital citizenship for a culturally diverse student population. The report specifically focuses on young people of migrant background who maintain connections with transnational family and diaspora communities using digital and social media, and aims to centre their voices and agency by asking what it is that they do in their everyday digital media practices - not just as individuals, but as participants in globally connected diaspora communities- that fosters their digital citizenship. By asking this question, we aim to understand whether their digital experiences, practices and aspirations align with or depart from how digital citizenship is framed in policy and taught in Australian schools. Further, the project brings to light the challenges faced by policymakers and educators who are responsible for designing and delivering digital citizenship education and offers practical ways to create digital citizenship policy and resources that are more inclusive and responsive to the experiences of migrant background youth. Based on the evidence gathered in this report from both young people and the stakeholders, we make recommendations for how educators and policymakers can incorporate the findings into their own work to foster more equitable and inclusive education.

We look forward to seeing you there!
