The paper introduces the field of Interaction Design for Marginalized Young People, which is the matter of discussion during the homonymous workshop held at IDC 2008. We summarize backgrounds, problems, and topics for this emerging field. We argue that awareness for the digital divide in today's societies has to become a major concern, even now when inclusion is no longer a matter of access to computers and the Internet only, but a matter of why and how. The paper gives a short overview on the papers that have been selected for presentation at the workshop. These contributions span from describing projects in developing countries to theoretical aspects of the field to practical software design solutions for overcoming the gap.

Abstract
The paper introduces the field of Interaction Design for Marginalized Young People, which is the matter of discussion during the homonymous workshop held at IDC 2008. We summarize backgrounds, problems, and topics for this emerging field. We argue that awareness for the digital divide in today's societies has to become a major concern, even now when inclusion is no longer a matter of access to computers and the Internet only, but a matter of why and how. The paper gives a short overview on the papers that have been selected for presentation at the workshop. These contributions span from describing projects in developing countries to theoretical aspects of the field to practical software design solutions for overcoming the gap.
