Description (short summary):
The skills of women and men with migration backgrounds in particular in the fields of IT-technologies and multi-functional media such as PC, Internet and mobile phone must be better recognised and used, and their social participation must be promoted.

In this regard, the Competence Centre for Technology, Diversity and Equal Opportunities (Kompetenzzentrum Technik-Diversity-Chancengleichheit e.V., in German) in Bielefeld, has elaborated a set of recommendations that describes how the online skills of women and men with a migration background can be improved, taking into consideration their gender-, generation- and culture- specific aspects. This action has been accomplished in cooperation with experts and the financial support of the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth.

Thereby, the goal is to present new perspectives to strengthen the use of the Internet among women and men with a migration background in Germany.
