Children and Youth Digital Civic Engagement in a Globalised World

The aim of this international & interdisciplinary research team of early career researchers and PhD students from the Czech Republic & Hungary is to study the civic engagement of children and youth (under 18-year olds) and the skills needed for digital activism through the following: 

1) analysis of online public discourse on and representations of civic activities of youth involved in the #ClimateStrike minors-led movement with the use of content & discourse analysis methods exploring norms related to youth civic participation;

2) digital ethnography and participatory action research used within media literacy research to comprehend minors’ views on civic engagement and the digital skills needed to participate. By fusing these two we will create an innovative theoretical & methodological framework to research children’s civic engagement in global issues. With an increased EU interest in the digital transformation of societies, we will offer a framework for liaising with scholars, activists and policymakers.
