Describe the specific population with whom you will be working.
Children have a fundamental role in this project.
They have access to the computer but do not convey what they feel.
I want to work with them because they are marginalized by the main digital society, and are not intended defense.
In my community 7 in 10 young people have internet access, but are not using it correctly, and many do not know how to send your message of protest and voice.
