Main aims of the Collaborative Research Project

Young people’s hopes and fears concerning their personal, local and global futures in a range of European contexts, including age related differences
their attitudes towards ‘glocalisation’ (Robertson 1994), including current European and global issues, such as democratic processes, poverty, unemployment, human rights, the protection of the environment and global conflict
the extent to which their home and school experiences have helped them understand and engage with these issues, and their identification of further needs
the extent to which they are pro-social in their engagement with others, committed to behaving and acting for a common good, thus enhancing their personal, social, and cultural capital.
the extent to which they feel motivated and committed to act for change and the factors influencing this, at local, national and global levels
