community groups) to reflect critically on their experiences and engagement in the field of migration and (re)settlement, with particular emphasis on information practices, ICT use, and forms of engagement and learning. The goal is to explore and stimulate
the development of a <b><i>refugee-centered approach</i></b> in information-related research<i> </i>that positions refugees as active participants in the research and supports their well-being and priorities.</span><span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif; color:black"></span></p>
