Logged On but Disaffected?
Young People, Citizenship and ICTs

A symposium to be held at Wentworth College, University of York, York,
UK 
26th -27th September 2005
Sponsored by Community Informatics Research & Applications (CIRA)
University of Teesside, UK.
&
Department of Sociology, University of York

This two day symposium brings together a number of leading scholars,
policy practitioners and activists who are involved in the study and
adoption of ICTs as a means to facilitate the active engagement of young
people in democratic governance. The symposium aims to address such
questions as: 
*	How can ICTs be best used to facilitate active participation by
young people in democratic politics?
*	Can ICTs become a part of citizenship education curriculum?
*	What kinds of online interaction facilitate effective
deliberation between young people?
*	What kinds of ICTs are most likely to engage the hard-to-reach
groups of disaffected young people?
*	How can ICTs enable genuine respect and involvement of young
people in national and local decision-making? 
*	Do ICTs make participation more difficult? 


There are a few places still available at the symposium for delegates.
