The Internet has penetrated material reality to such an extent that it is now often impossible to disentangle the material from the virtual. In this postdigital scenario, the encounter with ›newness‹ becomes accessible at the touch of a button, 24/7. Learning becomes a lifewide experience which allows for the emergence of new culturalities. The contributors to this volume engage with cultural changes brought about by an intensified digitalization process in the context of formal education but also shed light on unexpected contexts in which informal learning experiences take place every day, strengthening diasporas, creating new connections and transforming ourselves and our societies.

Luisa Conti (PD Dr.) is a researcher at Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, Germany, as well as P.I. in the EU-project »KIDS4ALLL: Key Inclusive Development Strategies for Lifelong Learning« and »ReDICo: Researching Digital Interculturality Co-operatively«. The chief pillars of her interdisciplinary research are education, communication and cultural studies. Her focus is on the factors and dynamics which foster or hinder social cohesion, with digitality being therefore a central aspect of her field of research.
Fergal Lenehan is a researcher at ReDICo: Researching Digital Interculturality Co-operatively, financed by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research. Originally from Ireland, he received a BA and MA from University College Dublin, a PhD from Universität Leipzig and a Habilitation (the formal post-doctoral qualification) from Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena. His research focuses on digital interculturality and cosmopolitanism, from a theoretical and internet histories perspective.
