strategy for change and innovation – a critique on the functions and perspective of immigrants...
DESCRIPTION
Wesseh Cucu, NGO activist, Moniheli Association, Finland Immigrant social media is the new cyber symbolism of a “melting pot” electronic multiculturalism. E-participation is not sufficiently sustainable to promote an inclusive social environment for immigrant youth groups in Europe. The interactive process of citizenship journalism is crystal clear. Civic society and non-governmental organizations play a essential role in empowering grass root agents of change, youth particularly.TRANSCRIPT

THE CHANGE EFFECT
“If you don’t like something change it;
If you can`t change it, change the way you think about it.” :)
- Mary Engelbreit
THE CONTROVERSY
Information = Knowledge = Power
SoMe literacy =The ability to know:
The need and purpose of information
The benefits of SoMe
Ability to access, evaluate, organize, use IIeP contents in SoMe tools effectively
ISoMe - the “NEW” Cyber-symbolism of
Multiculturalism via IIeP
ISoMe Platforms provides the ability to Grasp and Understand:
Level of cyber-multiculturalism
Produced by the HPI on SoMe platforms
Interactive Cyber Environment
Active Contributions by Immigrants
Opportunity for Sustainable Equal Partnerships
Utilizes; builds on Immigrant social Capital for best practices in integration
Knowledge is power
Information and Computer literacy = The ability to know:
the need for information
why information is necessary
ability to access, evaluate, organize and use information effective participation
The Strategy 4 Change And
Innovation in IIeP!
Information literate Immigrants are those who have learned how to learn.
4 ”Good Governance” We (immigrants) must be able to:
define the subject + object of our investigation
contribute to the appropriate terminology
help formulate policy strategies and change
contribute to data analysis
translate information into comprehensive knowledge
The Principles of Participation and
Empowerment
PROTECT – RESPECT – REMEDY framework:
HR Guiding Principles
Activism and Advocacy
Grass root mobilization
Collective Bargain
The Purpose of IIeP in Modern Day
Society?
What is the purpose of:
Immigrants inclusion?
Immigrants Participation?
Tangibility: what to do about full integration?
Motivation vs Challenges
Facts/opinions vs Ground reality?
Collective False Consciousness (CFC)
+/(-) Neutrality!
Sources of “Misconception” and Half
Truth to Success in IIeP:
Newspapers and Magazines
Television, Radio and Internet
Scholarly academic Reseraches: (books, monographs, journal articles, Dissertations, Theses)
The hidden research/researcher agenda
The Critique On Functions And
Perpectives
Participation – Partnership x Negative sustainability = Weakness IIeP!
On the basis of this I am prompted to ASK ”What is to be DONE” with IIeP?!
Equal Partnerships = More Outcomes and
sustainable Results!
There is no other Alternative!
IIeP long overdue
Sustainable strategy + Change + innovation = Necessity
Major Criticism On IIeP
Multiple Chennels and Sources IIeP!
Unreliability of a lack of single credible source of data collection/analysis!
Conflicting and opposing points of view on IIeP achievements!
A Realistic Measure of IIeP = Relative
Bench Mark
Allow exercise of civil & political rights!
Guarantees freedom of expressions & free speech!
Facilitates + advances + adopt New dimensions!
HPI [human process interaction] approach to IIeP!
True + concomitant + committed
Broad!
Challenges with strategies for change
and innovation in IIeP
Allows functional backlash in participation, inclusion and E-access
Harbours pervasive environment for wrongful acts and deeds!
Organizations + Individuals +
Immigrant Community Groups!
Societal & Ethical Dilemma!
The Ability Qualify and Quantify the current status and meaningfulness of IIeP information
Are Immigrants included
Do immigrants really ”participate”
Critical thinking = mastering the ”trade” of modern society
CONCLUSION!
Strategy for Change & Innovation Necessary!
IIeP in context long overdue!
Immigrants = active contributor
Must treat and accommodate equally as:
Partners
stake holders
Investment potential
Intellectual Capital Expertise
