The<\/span> engagement<\/span> of<\/span> youth<\/span> in<\/span> public<\/span> spheres<\/span> and<\/span> their<\/span> leading<\/span> role<\/span> in<\/span> the<\/span> processes<\/span> of<\/span> social <\/span>transformation have emerged as prominent constants throughout the past 10 to 15 years. Globally, numerous events underscore the significant contributions of young people. While these events<\/span> cannot<\/span> be<\/span> exclusively<\/span> categorized<\/span> as<\/span> youth<\/span> actions,<\/span> the<\/span> integral<\/span> role<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> younger <\/span>generation within them is markedly evident. Instances such as the Arab Spring and the Indignados movement, alongside contemporary climate change protests, movements for abortion<\/span> rights in<\/span> Latin<\/span> America, and<\/span> the<\/span> initiatives<\/span> of<\/span> youth collectives<\/span> during<\/span> the<\/span> pandemic, <\/span>serve<\/span> as<\/span> illustrative<\/span> examples<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> diverse<\/span> ways<\/span> in<\/span> which<\/span> young<\/span> people<\/span> articulate<\/span> their<\/span> socio- <\/span>political engagements. Through a broad spectrum of platforms and strategic approaches, these young<\/span> activists<\/span> demonstrate<\/span> their<\/span> commitment<\/span> to<\/span> societal<\/span> change,<\/span> highlighting<\/span> the<\/span> multifaceted <\/span>nature of<\/span> youth<\/span> participation<\/span> in<\/span> global<\/span> social<\/span> movements.<\/span><\/p>

The multiple evidence underscoring the presence of active and committed younger generations renders<\/span> the<\/span> continued<\/span> debate<\/span> over<\/span> the<\/span> purported<\/span> political<\/span> disengagement<\/span> of<\/span> contemporary <\/span>youth moot. Recognizing the diversity inherent within youth populations, it becomes significantly more enriching to orient research toward exploring the myriad ways in which young people manifest their commitments and engage in various practices. Such an approach involves delving<\/span> into<\/span> the<\/span> expression<\/span> of<\/span> these<\/span> commitments,<\/span> examining<\/span> the<\/span> nexus<\/span> between<\/span> participatory dynamics<\/span> and<\/span> the<\/span> biographical<\/span> trajectories<\/span> of<\/span> young<\/span> people,<\/span> elucidating<\/span> the<\/span> processes<\/span> through <\/span>which<\/span> they<\/span> identify<\/span> with<\/span> the<\/span> groups<\/span> they<\/span> join and<\/span> understanding<\/span> the<\/span> complex<\/span> interplay<\/span> between <\/span>their<\/span> activist<\/span> practices<\/span> and<\/span> daily<\/span> life.<\/span><\/p>

Adopting this broad perspective, the International Youth Activisms Conference is designed to serve as a platform for the dissemination and discussion of the latest research regarding the involvement (and, interestingly, the non-involvement) of young people in the public sphere. It seeks to shed light on<\/span> their<\/span> activist<\/span> engagements<\/span> and practices,<\/span> embracing a wide and<\/span> diverse<\/span> understanding <\/span>that reflects the varied forms and meanings of activism prevalent among youth today. By doing so, the conference aims to facilitate rich debates among researchers from different social, political, <\/span>and cultural contexts.<\/p>

In addressing youth activisms, our intention is to embrace the widest possible range of expressions of youth commitments to causes, principles, values\u2026 This encompasses the involvement in climate justice movements, feminist and sexual diversity activism, engagement in political parties or trade unions, participation in civil rights organizations, work in community support and solidarity groups, as<\/span> well<\/span> as<\/span> artivism<\/span> and<\/span> other<\/span> cultural<\/span> activism<\/span> forms.<\/span> Moreover,<\/span> we<\/span> acknowledge<\/span> the<\/span> diverse <\/span>modalities through which this engagement is manifested, ranging from enduring, long-term activism<\/span> to<\/span> more<\/span> sporadic<\/span> and<\/span> intermittent<\/span> involvement,<\/span> from<\/span> participation<\/span> in<\/span> street<\/span> mobilisations <\/span>to online activism on social networks or the integration of activist principles into the routine practices of daily life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In<\/span> order<\/span> to<\/span> organise<\/span> this<\/span> diversity<\/span> of<\/span> areas<\/span> of<\/span> work,<\/span> this<\/span> conference<\/span> will<\/span> focus<\/span> on<\/span> four<\/span> areas<\/span> of <\/span>debate and analysis:<\/p>

1. \u00a0Activist engagement as a life experience: biographies and youth activisms<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Activist engagement is not a state that is reached but a process deeply embedded in the continuum of time, which progresses in tandem with the young people’s own personal trajectory. The interplay<\/span> between<\/span> biography<\/span> and<\/span> activism<\/span> assumes<\/span> heightened<\/span> significance<\/span> in<\/span> the<\/span> context<\/span> of <\/span>youth,<\/span> where<\/span> personal<\/span> history<\/span> and<\/span> activist<\/span> involvement<\/span> are<\/span> profoundly<\/span> intertwined.<\/span><\/p>

<\/b>2. Young people and militant engagements in political organisations<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

The<\/span> old<\/span> model<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> militant<\/span> ‘who<\/span> gives<\/span> his<\/span> or<\/span> her<\/span> self<\/span> to the<\/span> organisation’<\/span> has<\/span> lost<\/span> much<\/span> of<\/span> its <\/span>virtuality today in<\/span> an<\/span> individualised<\/span> society.<\/span> This<\/span> shift is<\/span> particularly evident<\/span> among<\/span> youth,<\/span> where <\/span>new forms of militant engagement emerge, balancing personal needs of the young members with the demands<\/span> of<\/span> organizational structures.<\/span><\/p>

<\/b>3. Socio-political engagements, participatory logics and social movements<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

The proliferation of forms and modalities of expression<\/span> of youth<\/span> engagement with very different <\/span>causes<\/span> and<\/span> principles<\/span> is<\/span> transforming<\/span> the<\/span> very<\/span> nature<\/span> of<\/span> many<\/span> social<\/span> movements<\/span> that<\/span> face<\/span> the<\/span><\/p>

challenge<\/span> of<\/span> how<\/span> to<\/span> integrate<\/span> multiple<\/span> participatory<\/span> logics<\/span> while<\/span> increasing<\/span> the<\/span> effectiveness<\/span> of <\/span>their actions.<\/p>

<\/b>4. New Activist Identities and Practices: Subjectivities, Creativity and Politics<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Individualisation and self-reflexivity, two of the most characteristic features of youth life, are explicitly<\/span> inscribed<\/span> in<\/span> the<\/span> activist<\/span> practices<\/span> of<\/span> young<\/span> people.<\/span> This<\/span> translates<\/span> into<\/span> processes<\/span> of <\/span>experimentation and creativity through which these new generations construct new subjectivities as political actors.<\/p>

In light<\/span> of these<\/span> focal<\/span> points,<\/span> we welcome<\/span> contributions<\/span> that<\/span> address<\/span> any<\/span> relevant<\/span> aspect<\/span> of youth activism.<\/span> Submissions<\/span> may<\/span> concentrate<\/span> on<\/span> the<\/span> experiences<\/span> of<\/span> young<\/span> activists,<\/span> the<\/span> organizations <\/span>and<\/span> collectives<\/span> they<\/span> are<\/span> part<\/span> of,<\/span> or<\/span> the<\/span> broader<\/span> socio-structural,<\/span> political,<\/span> and<\/span> cultural<\/span> condition <\/span>within which activism is rooted. We encourage both theoretical and empirical , quantitative and <\/span>qualitative works.<\/p>
