| Abstract | Motivation -- The research aims to identify and analyse the relationships between social inclusion, sense of community and spaces through creative activities, exploiting the potential of low tech and "transparent" tools and their impact on the acquisition of social competencies, as well as on creative expression skills. In a long-term perspective, the study aims at exploring uses of ICT in art-based inclusion practices. Research approach -- An explorative case study approach is used to investigate the potential of non-digital artefacts in supporting creative workshops involving migrants, local citizens, children, adults and elderly people. Findings/Design -- The study provides evidence that social inclusion is related to the involvement of mixed groups of people in the community space. It highlights the role of non-digital artefact on the acquisition of social and creative competences: In the observed creative workshops, people learned about their local community; felt legitimized to express their views about it and to engage in its development. Participants learned about themselves and gained confidence, reinforcing their inclusion in the community. Both migrants and local people, youngsters and elders, overcame prejudices related to lack of understanding and gained empathy for other people's aspirations, contributions, and human potential. Research limitations/Implications -- The presented results are based on a study that focused on non-digital artefact: pinhole camera, as a support for creative activity fostering social inclusion. Their implications for designing technology-enhanced environments will be investigated based on the results obtained. Originality/Value -- The research makes a contribution to the need to design simple and federating tools in order to foster creative, joyful and mindful interactions between mixed groups of users. Take away message -- Technological artefacts to be used in creative activities fostering social inclusion should allow mindful interactions and appreciation of community places and spaces. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
