Project overview
Funded by Web Science Institute Stimulus Fund (?5435.8) , through the project, we aim to prioritizing the voices and experiences which are currently underrepresented groups in digital society research (House of Lords, 2023). Many refugee women are skeptical about engaging with technology, perceiving it as inaccessible or irrelevant to their cultural and daily needs. While inspired by their children’s use of digital tools, they feel existing platforms, including Generative AI (GenAI), lack cultural sensitivity and inclusivity.
Project Summary
This interdisciplinary project aims to facilitate intergenerational knowledge exchange by engaging university students in supporting refugee women in using Generative AI (GenAI) tools to enhance their access to essential health and daily life information resources. Song and storytelling workshops will foster meaningful relationships between university students and the project participants. Through the workshop,
participants will share their cultural knowledge and lived experiences, contributing to the training and refinement of AI models with culturally relevant inputs. This reciprocal exchange will empower refugee women while broadening the global awareness and intercultural competencies of participating students.
