Are we prepared to set aside our adult demands and promote genuine participation among the youth so they feel part of the solution?

Discover the keys to encouraging participation among young people in the latest episode by Pin_Joven with Arecia Aguirre García-Carpintero, Doctor Professor of the Department of Pedagogy and Didactics of Social Sciences, Language and Literature at the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló.

Participation is one of the human foundations and a pedagogical tool to educate democratic values and reconstruct society parting from the collective. In the current world, one of our challenges is to step away from adultcentrism, which creates a pessimistic perception of the youth, is barely active and only views young people as future citizens.

You learn to participate by participating (...). Young people are not the citizens of the future; they are the citizens of the present.

Take a look at this and the other training modules from the first season of the Youth Chair Pin_Jove project in the Pin_Jove section.
