| ’FAMILIES ONLINE’ |
The Vienna NGO Committee on the Family has focused between 2017 and 2021, amongst other issues, on various aspects of ’Families Online’, by organising four different International Forums, three of which took place at the United Nations, Vienna International Centre, and the fourth, due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, as a Zoom Video Conference.
The first was entitled: ’Internet Use & Domestic Communication Cultures’ with Dr. Corinna Peil, from the University of Salzburg, to observe the United Nations International Day of Families in 2017. The proceedings of that International Forum are included in ’Families International’ (FI) issue No. 102.
The proceedings of a further International Forum, held a year later, in 2018, with Philip Sinner, M.A., also from the University of Salzburg, entitled: ’Socially Disadvantaged Families in a Rich Country - Digital Media Usage and Mediation Practices’ are included in FI. Issue No.108.
The proceedings of the third International Forum of the trilogy, dealing with ’Families Online’, entitled ’Child & Youth Media Protection From the Perspective of Parents’ with Christin Kohler, M.A., based on her masters research, at the University of Salzburg, are included in FI issue No. 112.
A follow-up of the above-mentioned original study by Dr. Philip Sinner, in FI Issue No.108, is included in the proceedings of an International Forum, entitled: ’15 years Longitudinal Study of the Mediatisation of Socialisation - How do the young adults perform 4 years later?’ in FI issue No. 120.
