The investigator organized digital media workshops in Fukui with migrant youth. Various locals, such as media artists and migrant support professionals supported migrant youths and helped them create a digital media production. I conducted both participant observation and interviews with participants to understand the ways in which these migrants and local Japanese interact with each other through the use of digital media. First, I examined how digital media can be employed for community engagement between migrant youth and the local community and how it helped them achieve cultural citizenship. Second, I examined how local Japanese participants perceived their attitude-change process in real encounters with migrants in Fukui through the use of ICT.
