New Possibilities: Young People and Democratic Renewal

随着规范、价值观和文化的发展，充满活力的民主国家需要代际更新。该项目是对澳大利亚学生在气候变化运动中的系统研究。该项目调查了学生是谁，他们为什么参与，他们是如何组织的，他们如何代表自己，以及其他人在社交和主流媒体上的代表，该项目从伦理上提出了联合研究学生在线下和在线环境中的公民和政治参与的方法。预期结果包括提高调查学生政治行动的能力，对学生气候政治的动机、规范和做法有新的认识，以及通过与年轻人接触来实现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.
