The event will take plac e on Tuesday\, July 2\, 2025\, at 3:00 PM\, at the Cnr Hunanieties Hub in Naples.\n\nThe seminar will offer an opportunity to reflect on the interse ctions between youth participation\, digital practices\, and civic educati on. In an era where youth participation is increasingly shaped by digital interactions\, the development of critical data literacy skills is essent ial for empowering young people as civic actors. The project presented by Prof. Camilo Vieira explores how youth aged 15–24 in Barranquilla (Colom bia) engage in civic life through the lens of data literacy.\n\nAdopting a design-based research approach\, the initiative co-develops learning envi ronments that aim to build not only technical capacities—such as data vi sualization\, interpretation\, and storytelling—but also to foster criti cal reflection and dialogue on local civic issues. The project investigate s how young people use data to better understand their realities and artic ulate possible pathways for change. The methodology includes iterative wo rkshops\, training sessions\, and community-based projects led by youth pa rticipants\, supported by both qualitative and quantitative data collectio n.\n\nDuring the seminar\, Prof. Vieira will present the conceptual framew ork of the project and share preliminary findings from a pilot study condu cted in Colombia. These early insights illustrate how youth conceptualize civic problems\, engage with data\, and develop a sense of agency. The fin dings contribute to the growing field of civic computing\, highlighting it s potential as a pathway for more inclusive\, informed\, and empowered you th participation in democratic life. Paolo Landri\, Director of Cnr Iriss \, will serve as discussant\, facilitating an open conversation on the bro ader implications of civic computing for inclusive and participatory educa tion.\n\nThe seminar is part of a growing collaboration between Cnr Iriss and Universidad del Norte\, formalised through a Memorandum of Understandi ng (MoU) that supports joint research initiatives\, scientific cooperation \, international project development\, science diplomacy\, and visiting ex change programmes for researchers and academic staff.\n\nOrganizzato da:\n Istituto di ricerca su Innovazione e Servizi per lo Sviluppo (CNR IRISS)\n \nReferente organizzativo:\nPaolo Landri\nCNR - Istituto di Ricerca su Inn ovazione e Servizi per lo Sviluppo\npaolo.landri@cnr.it\n\nModalità di ac cesso: ingresso libero\n\nVedi anche:\n\n Programme\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.iriss.cnr.it/wp-content/uploads/2025 /06/Civic-Computing-for-Youth-Participation-in-Colombia_Leveraging-Data-Li teracy.jpeg CATEGORIES:Giornata di studio / Workshop / Seminario LOCATION:Sala Convegni Polo Umanistico CNR\, Via Cardinale Guglielmo Sanfel ice\, 8\, Napoli\, Italia X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Via Cardinale Guglielmo San felice\, 8\, Napoli\, Italia;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Sala Convegni Polo Umanistico CNR:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/Rome X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/Rome BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20250330T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0200 TZNAME:CEST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
