The international seminar "Inclusion in and by the Digital - Access, Well-being and Rights", organised by the Erasmus+ funded project LIDA - Learning Inclusion in a Digital Age, took place at the Faculty of Psychology and of Educational Sciences of the University of Porto, Portugal, on the 5th of September.

The event brought together more than 70 researchers, teachers, professionals and students. Throughout the day, there was also the opportunity to premiere the digital stories created by professionals and people in vulnerable situations from the four countries that comprise the consortium (Portugal, Italy, Norway and the United Kingdom).

Brit Svoen and Stephen Dobson, from INN, presented the project's main activities and results, including the website and the book Learning Inclusion in a Digital Age. Belonging and Finding a Voice with the Disadvantaged, published by Springer (https://link.springer.com/book/9789819971954), will soon be launched.

Alex Howells (UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning) gave a presentation on lifelong learning and UNESCO's Global Network of Learning Cities.

Laura Mazzoli-Smith (Durham University, UK) presented a communication on the uses of digital storytelling for inclusion, discussed by Pip Hardy and Tony Sumner (Pilgrim Projects).

In the afternoon, a roundtable with professionals from different areas (Angélica Monteiro - CIIE/FPCEUP; Daniela Leal - It Gets Better; Liliana Pires - Municipality of Porto and Paula Cruz - EAPN) on inclusion in and by digitalisation was held, presented by Ana Luísa Costa and Elsa Teixeira from the University of Porto, and a paper on multiculturalism in schools in the digital age was presented by Francesca Fioretti and discussed by Gabriella Agrusti and Valeria Damiani (LUMSA).

Lastly, Sandra Araújo (coordinator of the National Strategy to Combat Poverty - Portugal) presented the challenges posed by the digital inclusion of people living in or at risk of poverty. These challenges were debated with João Caramelo and Susana Coimbra (University of Porto).

The event ended with a musical performance by the NEFUP (Centre for Ethnography and Folklore of the University of Porto).
