New Possibilities: Young People and Democratic Renewal

随着规范、价值观和文化的演变，充满活力的民主需要世代更新。该项目是对澳大利亚学生参与气候变化运动的系统研究。研究学生是谁，他们为什么参与，他们如何组织，他们如何在社交和主流媒体中代表自己和他人，该项目在道德上推进了在离线和在线环境中共同研究学生公民和政治参与的方式。预期成果包括提高调查学生政治行动的能力，对影响学生政治气氛的动机、规范和做法有新的认识，以及通过与青年人接触促进民主复兴的概念和工具。

Vibrant democracies require generational renewal as norms, values and cultures evolve. This project is a systematic study of Australian students in the climate change movement. Examining who the students are, why they participate, how they organise, how they represent themselves and are represented by others in social and mainstream media, the project ethically advances ways of co-researching students’ civic and political participation in offline and online settings. Expected outcomes include improved capacity for investigating student political action, new knowledge of the motivations, norms and practices that characterise student climate politics and concepts and tools for democratic renewal through engagement with young people.
