• Promoting the use of, or creation of, traditional or online social networks by minority children and Young adults within the library’s user community to help these Young people improve their social, political, cultural or economic life, and to share their culture with other readers.
• .Collections for children and young adults and multiculturalism : what culture(s) do collections reflect? In what languages? Are young readers’ cultures present in the library collections? How are collections made available to readers, and how do they receive them?
• Programs for children’s librarians and/or young readers that engage them in exchanges at regional or international level, favoring access to other cultures
• Understanding how libraries and information organisations are using traditional or online social networking tools to engage with children and Young adults of different cultural background in order to obtain a better understanding of their information needs, and/or to share ideas, experiences and knowledge to improve their services and resources.
• Showing how libraries can or do contribute to the work of other organisations (e.g., schools, government departments, private companies) through engagement with social networking tools.
