Fostering literacy with come_IN computer clubs

Embedding technology access and skill acquirement in a decidedly open local social structure, the intercultural come_IN computer clubs have been developed as a response to
both, an increasing social and cultural diversity, and a prevailing, if not increasing digital
divide. The opportunity for collaborative play, learning and work with computers and
modern media is apt to build bridges among people of different ages, cultural and social
backgrounds is the basic idea that lays the grounds for the concept of the intercultural
come_IN computer clubs. By situating come_IN in discourses on cultural as well as computational and media literacy, this work carves out how all activity in come_IN balances learning at four interrelated ends: the Self and the Other, the Non-Computational and the Computational.
