Description
The book enlightens the situation of youth amidst global intersecting crises - or the polycrisis - in the contemporary world. This collection acknowledges and interrogates the multiplicity of global and local effects and consequences that the pandemic, climate change, war, migration and digitalization have on youth and their resilience - too often dependent on socio-economic status, ethnic background, religion, and ability. However, despite pointing out the deep polarizations in coping with crises and the social changes they trigger and reinforce, the writers of this book remark on the seeds of hope fostered by the persistency and actions of young people amplifying change for a better world.
