impactan y por las cuales son impactadas, con quienes construyen de manera conjunta soluciones para fortalecer su entorno. Este manual es una guía práctica, muy accesible, para conocer los pasos básicos para el relacionamiento con la comunidad, desde la responsabilidad social. Nos facilita un marco de acción, que orienta con lineamientos específicos: cómo contemplar el contexto sociocultural, cómo analizarlo y cómo abordar y conjugar tanto las necesidades y expectativas de las empresas como de la sociedad. La medición es un aspecto elemental que se resalta también en este documento y que constituye la diferencia entre prácticas básicas y esporádicas, y un programa real de involucramiento efectivo con la comunidad."

la como parte del currículo escolar oficial; puede ser parte de la oferta mediática a través de videos, podcasts, plataformas digitales; o, incluso, puede ser el objeto central de un videojuego en línea que motive a jóvenes a aprender AMI. DW Akademie y sus socios en Centroamérica han desarrollado metodologías para enseñanza de la AMI en todos estos campos, con resultados notables en nuevos conocimientos y actitudes de empoderamiento en audiencias jóvenes. Con el objetivo de atender las necesidades específicas de las y los jóvenes en Centroamérica, esta publicación toma en cuenta los factores demográficos que condicionan su vida diaria para formular propuestas AMI. Los datos principales que permiten extraer dichas conclusiones son los recopilados por tres estudios de nuestros socios en Centroamérica: COMUNICARES en Guatemala; la Universidad Centroamericana José Simeón Cañas y la Escuela de Comunicación Mónica Herrera en El Salvador."

"Findings indicate that Afghan exiled journalists worldwide struggle to continue practicing their profession. Even among the few who still work in media, the vast majority depend on additional sources of income. This demonstrates a clear need for support, especially since many respondents aspire to

establish their own medium in exile in the future and would like to continue working in the field. Most Afghan journalists in exile would like to continue to report on Afghanistan related issues and thus reach Afghans both inside and outside the country with their independent stories. Most of the participants rated solidarity within the Afghan media community as either low or very low. This trend is even more pronounced in Germany. At the same time, an absolute majority of the respondents indicated a very high interest in connecting with the Afghan media community in the countries where they are currently based or in other countries."

"The study's primary objectives were to assess the state of data on access to digital devices and connectivity in schools in Thailand, which are crucial enablers for e-learning initiatives, and to map the state of access to and use of these devices and connectivity so as to identify potential gaps.

As digital connectivity becomes paramount to the education sector, it is vital for the Government (Ministry of Education, Ministry of Digital Economy and Science, NBTC) to connect unconnected schools and communities, and to ensure that students have equitable access to devices, learning content and opportunities. Other specific recommendations in this regard are set out below: a) Improve the quality and availability of data on the status of school connectivity [...]; b) Set guidelines for the Internet and devices in schools [...]; c) Improve digital device-to-student ratios in schools [...] d) Enhance connectivity information to include the community [...] e) Increase the availability of information on traffic and bandwidth use from schools [...] f) Improve the affordability of Internet connectivity for students [...] g) Assess the impact of e-learning on education outcomes [...]" (Recommendations, pages 47-48)

"This report defines and takes the pulse of five vital elements of digital learning. It contributes to the ongoing yet urgent aim of transforming education, and offers steps to recovery through child-centered, equity-driven, and innovative solutions. The five vital elements covered are ICT in educat

ion policies and financing, digital learning platforms and content, teachers and school leadership, digital literacy, and holistic learning opportunities within and beyond classrooms. The report calls for a whole-of-system approach to digital learning, which includes increased resources, addressing the digital and usage divides, empowering teachers and school leaders, developing digital literacy among all groups, and meeting children where they are through entertaining and educational content and a mix of technologies. Particular attention should be given to gathering more data and evidence, which are sorely lacking; centering initiatives and solutions around the needs of marginalized learners and families, especially in low- and lower-middle income countries; and ensuring a holistic approach that considers all the vitals to make digital learning safe, equitable, engaging and effective."

These include a deeply ingrained distrust of authority figures (in particular, the government), poor access to education, and lower literacy skills than other refugee groups.

"This report shares findings on the access and use of mobile technology among South Sudanese refugees and the communities that host them in three areas of White Nile, Sudan. White Nile is a state in southern Sudan sharing a border and refugee crossing points with South Sudan. It is home to nearly 70

0,000 people in need of humanitarian assistance. More than 280,000 refugees from South Sudan are currently hosted in White Nile and represent more than a third of all refugees living in Sudan, as well as roughly 100,000 returnees who arrived from South Sudan when it seceded in 2011. Most refugees live in one of nine official refugee camps. Additionally, there are nearly 400,000 people experiencing acute food insecurity [...] Our research indicates that access to mobile phones is high in both communities, with 91 per cent of respondents reporting that their household owns at least one handset. Personal ownership is also high, with 81 per cent of refugees and 62 per cent of host community members reporting that they own their own mobile phone. This figure obscures some important discrepancies, however. For example, refugees are more likely to own an internet-enabled handset than host community members, and women, persons with disabilities and older people are less likely to have access to mobile phones."
