CCSN is an interdisciplinary community hub for scholars studying content creators and economies from a wide range of disciplines and approaches, such as Media and communications, sociology, digital humanities, politics, anthropology, and critical cultural studies. Our work spans themes including, but not limited to, industries and economies; creative labor and resistance; platform infrastructure, governance and moderation; identity, inequality and marginalization; social media cultures and communities; algorithms and AI. CCSN’s primary goal is to cultivate an international community of members to promote additional perspectives and studies in the field of creator culture. Members also produce educational resources, participate in journalistic interviews, and organize events and spaces for creator studies research. In addition to critically examining content creators and economies, CCSN strives to create and contribute to dialogue with industry to address concerns of power and in/equalities when possible.

The StrateDie project (Strategic Digitalization for Inclusive School Development) aims to strategically utilize digital tools to ensure the best possible learning experience for all students. The focus is on integrating digital technologies to promote key aspects such as language, communication, and heterogeneity within schools. The project emphasizes the development of multimedia impulses that support teachers in creating and moderating participatory and cohesion-building learning processes. It works closely with teachers, school leaders, school social workers, and expert advisors throughout both the research and design phases. By adopting an inclusive approach, the project seeks to create a school environment where digital tools serve not only as technical aids but also as catalysts for an equal and supportive learning experience. The StrateDie project is supported by the Thuringian Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports, as well as the Thuringian Ministry of Migration, Justice, and Consumer Protection, highlighting the political and societal relevance of the initiative.

KIDS4ALLL project has been granted in the frame of the Horizon2020 Work Program SC6 entitled ‘Europe in a Changing world – inclusive, innovative and reflective societies’ and with particular reference to topic 5 that focused on integration challenges of migrant children in educational contexts. The KIDS4ALLL learning method draws on knowledge acquisition skills training and attitude transfer to convey lifelong learning competences as a whole within a collaborative and co-creative learning process. As a response to the educational needs of children, in particular of migrant children, and of educators as pathfinders for continuous lifelong and life wide learning, the project is grounded on three Key Inclusive Development Strategies (KIDS) towards LifeLongLearning (LLL), which represent the specific objectives of the project. Main output of the project: https://learn.kids4alll.eu/

ReDICo (“Researching Digital Interculturality Co-operatively”), financed from November 2020 until October 2024 by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) within the program “Kleine Fächer – Zusammen Stark“ (Small Subjects: Strong together), retains both research and strategic goals. The scientific examination of intercultural practices and discourses within digital spaces and their influence upon issues such as identities, group social cohesion and cultural change, remains at its centre. Coupled with this is the strategic aim of strengthening Intercultural Communication as an academic subject with a positive social influence, at both national and transnational levels.
