This book "YOUNG & CREATIVE - Digital Technologies Empowering Children in Everyday Life" aims to catch different examples where children and youth have been active and creative by their own initiative, driven by intrinsic motivation, personal interests and peer relations. We want to show the opportunities of digital technologies for creative processes of children and young people. The access to digital technology and its growing convergence has allowed young people to experiment active roles as cultural producers. Paticipation becomes a keyword when "consumers take media into their own hands". digital technologies offer the petential of diferent forms of participatory media culture, and fanally creative practices. YOUNG and CREATIVE is a mix of research articles, interviews and case studies.
