Qualitative study examines digital literacy's effects on psychological wellbeing in refugee youth, indicating significant improvements in empowerment and connection.
This study explores how digital literacy programmes impact psychological wellbeing among refugee youth in East African cities within Morocco. Qualitative data collection methods including semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and document reviews were employed. Participants included refugee youth aged 13-25 from various East African countries residing in Morocco. A thematic analysis revealed that digital literacy programmes significantly improved participants' sense of empowerment and social connection, which are critical for their mental health. Digital literacy programmes offer a promising avenue to support the psychological wellbeing of refugee youth by enhancing their access to resources and community engagement. Future research should consider longitudinal studies to assess long-term impacts. Cultural sensitivity training is recommended for programme implementers to ensure effectiveness across diverse populations.
