Resumo(s)
This paper explores the role of digital media in the daily lives of young refugees in Portugal, aged between 11-18 years old. As an exploratory research, we drew upon a qualitative approach, focused on participants’ media consumption and practices. Three key themes emerged from the data: Digital media practices, integration processes, and identity negotiation. Overall, participants showed a strong preference for platforms like YouTube, WhatsApp, and Instagram, mainly for entertainment, language learning, social connection, and self-expression. Such practices align with youth media trends that support hybrid identity formation across transnational and local contexts. Digital media also worked as educational tools, with AI, like ChatGPT, used for language learning. Participants also actively engaged with Portuguese culture, revealing a dual belonging. This study highlights that young refugees are active media users, suggesting further research in Portugal in terms of youth refugees mediatic uses and practices for integration policy and digital inclusion strategies.
