Abstract

Digital skills and competencies, and civic participation based on such skills and competencies (i.e. digital citizenship), are recognised as a challenge for the coming digital society. This paper contends that educational support to develop socially disadvantaged young people’s digital skills and competencies has a positive impact on digital citizenship. Accordingly, findings based on four years of action research among a support group for socially disadvantaged youths in a provincial city in Japan and a discussion of the support’s impact are presented. Our results suggest that such educational support can expand one’s freedom to explore digital technology’s potential, self-determination as an active learner in a digital environment, and space to participate in a digital society as a digital citizen.
