| Summary: | <em>The debate concerning changes brought by new technologies has shown that knowledge has been increasingly pointed out as a key / crucial factor in establishing or overcoming social and economic inequality, in creating or eliminating job opportunities and, in disseminating or concentrating well-being.

With the aim of discussing the concept of digital inclusion and possible ways of making it work, two experiments in Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, are examined: the CITIZEN INFORMATICS PROJECT (Projeto Informática Cidadã) and the SURFING IS NECESSARY PROJECT (Projeto Navegar é Preciso).</em> |
