“…Varias de las personas entrevistadas en el presente estudio enfatizan que si bien, en su país tener acceso a Internet no era relevante en su día a día, en la actualidad lo consideran indispensable. Con todo, se puede afirmar que las TICs e Internet promueven y facilitan los procesos de inclusión social (Domínguez, 2018;Grost et al, 218;Collin y Karsenti, 2012;Collin, Karsenti, y Calonne, 2015;Tsegaye, Stumpp y Michelis, 2019).…”

El auge de las TICs e Internet en las sociedades actuales conlleva que el acceso y uso de estas sea cada vez más imprescindible para la vida cotidiana. Los cambios tecnológicos nos señalan una tendencia a la telematización, que engloba desde la realización de trámites con las administraciones públicas, a la búsqueda de empleo o la formación, entre otros. Sin embargo, hay quienes carecen de medios de acceso o de conocimientos para su uso, lo que genera una brecha, que se convierte en motivo de exclusión, no sólo digital, sino también social. Por ello, en el presente trabajo se plantea conocer cómo inciden la inclusión y la exclusión digital en las personas migrantes, destacando tanto las potencialidades y beneficios que les aporta el acceso y uso de las TICs e Internet para su proceso de integración sociolaboral y formativa, como visibilizando las consecuencias de no hacer uso de estas herramientas. Este artículo corresponde a una síntesis del Trabajo de Fin de Máster Oficial de Políticas Sociales e Intervención Sociocomunitaria de la especialidad en Migraciones Internacionales de la Universidad de A Coruña, tutorizado por Raquel Martínez Buján.

“…Social connectedness relates to feelings of closeness, shared identities and common bonds, valuing relationships, and feeling socially involved, cared for and accepted (Hare-Duke et al, 2019;Kohli et al, 2009;O'Rourke & Sidani, 2017). Social connectedness created via ICT use in migrant populations has been studied in relation to integration into host societies, connections with local ethnocultural communities, and transnational linkages to left-behind communities (Collin, 2012;Collin et al, 2015;Fortunati et al, 2013;Murphy & Mahalingam, 2004;Oiarzabal & Reips, 2012;Samari, 2016;Sanon et al, 2016;Viruell-Fuentes & Schulz, 2009). Being socially connected to one's local community potentially decreases loneliness and social isolation, improves social capital and results in positive health outcomes (Yiengprugsawan et al, 2018).…”

The number of migrants is increasing worldwide coupled with an ever-expanding entrenchment of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the fabric of daily life. There has been little attention in the health disciplines to the unique ways migrants adopt and are influenced by ICTs across multiple local and transnational social spaces. This scoping review explores the current evidence on migrants’ ICT-mediated transnational social activities and related influences on wellbeing. The review was conducted using Arksey and O'Malley’s (2005) methodological framework and a total of 37 articles were included for the final study. Key findings highlight barriers and facilitators of ICT use in transnational contexts, types of ICT-mediated transnational social activities; and reported influences on migrants’ wellbeing. Migrants’ ICT use facilitates reciprocal channels of social support and continuation of valued social roles. Social role disruption, unequal exchange of social support, and mismatch between migrants’ expectations around ICT use and that of left-behind communities are some of the negative processes with psychological, social, and emotional consequences identified in the review. Main review conclusions emphasize the need to further explore the quality and intensity of ICT-mediated social influences on migrants’ wellbeing and to incorporate a transnational lens in the design of digital learning interventions targeting vulnerable migrant populations.

“…Since that time both sales of the iPhone (and other smartphones) as well as their functionality have grown beyond recognition, contributing strongly to the diversity and intensity of international migration, such that they may be considered an inherent part of the migration process (Collin et al . ). These technological changes mean that “many migrants develop and maintain strong modes of community cohesion, but not necessarily with others in their locality of settlement” (Vertovec 2010, p.90).…”
