Through a community-based research approach, our projects honour participants’ diverse range of digital media literacy strengths, experiences and expertise. We design projects that create safe spaces for participants to share their thoughts, experiences, concerns and solutions about digital media literacy issues. We aim to empower participants by providing them with knowledge and skills that they can take with them as they continue to navigate the online world and digital technology.
We conduct qualitative and quantitative community-based research projects; design and facilitate program and resource evaluation; and mobilize the findings and recommendations from our research - all in collaboration with various community and academic partners.
