Description

Promoting low-income parents’ digital media literacies. Assisting children to successfully navigate the digital world has become an essential parenting skill, but many low-income parents and carers find this challenging due to a lack of confidence in their own digital media literacies. Meanwhile, there are very few community-based opportunities for these parents to develop their digital skills. This project brings together leading Australian digital inclusion researchers and organisations to investigate new ways to enhance low-income parents' digital media literacies in five diverse Australian communities. It uses a Social Living Labs approach to place low-income parent voices at the centre of new community-led solutions.. Scheme: Linkage Projects. Field: 4701 - Communication and Media Studies.
