This issue of eLearning Papers will examine how Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) can help individuals and institutions to fight against poverty and social exclusion. Three ways of social inclusion, made possible by TEL, will be considered in this issue:

• Material inclusion: fight against poverty and the digital divide, contribute to “education for all”;
• Physical inclusion: help disabled and geographically isolated populations to be “mobile”;
• (Inter-)cultural inclusion: integration of minorities, refugees and migrants,  boost inter-generational relations, fight against discriminations.

Which strategies and pedagogical approaches can be applied through the use of technologies in order to contribute to these three categories? What is the role of, for example, foreign languages and/or intercultural education/citizenship in these approaches? Our hypothesis is that through technologies people can find new ways of reflecting on the notions of inclusion/exclusion and gain a feeling of being included and integrated. We are looking for articles and practical case descriptions with real life examples about how ICT have been already used for social inclusion in any of the three ways above mentioned.
