Luis Enrique Santana will give a presentation entitled "Digital Citizenship in Latin America: What do we refer to when talking about digital citizenship?"

Abstract: This presentation summarizes different Santana´s works related to dynamics that citizens are involved in the current hybrid public sphere. It zooms in the concept of Digital Citizenship and how this has been used in the literature and in the practice of different initiatives along Latin America and the Caribbean. Analyzing the data collected in two projects prepared for ECLAC (398 from 19 countries), it is proposed a framework for categorizing digital citizenship initiatives.
