Social inclusion is a goal of 21st-century education and social welfare, yet research with violently displaced youth leaves gaps in its meaning. Social inclusion, a societal aim, lacks the perspectives of youth at its center. Given the pressures and power relations involved in learning how young people think and feel about social injustices and the support they need, developmental researchers must find innovative ways to study youth experiences and intentions in relation to environments, especially environments that threaten young lives. Emerging research highlights how displaced youth, peers along their journeys, and adults guiding supportive interventions make audible the meaning of social inclusion. Policy paradigms would benefit from research on sense-making in interventions rather than from emphasizing behavioral assessments and assimilation to local norms, as implied by social inclusion.

New Strategies

The manner that young people and adults are communicating with each other is rapidly changing in society that is, in part, driven by the latest technology. As a youth-driven program, we must engage in new strategies and methods by which we communicate with youth members, volunteers, families, and the community at large. Social and mobile media are a growing and popular venue for much of our target audience and youth development practitioners must learn how to leverage these networks to create positive youth development in online environments. If we ignore and don’t engage in the opportunity to be connected to youth online, then youth are left to make their own paths online and set the online norms. As youth organizations, we also must seize the opportunity to be online mentors and use the resources that are available and being used by our target populations.

Transnational Mobility

This book provides fresh perspectives on 21st-century migratory experiences in this innovative study of young Asian migrants' lives in Australia. Exploring the aspirations and realities of transnational mobility, the book shows how migration has reshaped lived experiences of time for middle-class young people moving between Asia and the West for work, study and lifestyle opportunities. Through a new conceptual framework of 'chronomobilities', which looks at 'time-regimes' and 'time-logics', the book demonstrates how migratory pathways have become far more complex than leaving one country for another, and can profoundly affect the temporalities of everyday life, from career pathways to intimate relationships. Drawing on extensive ethnographic material, the book deepens our understanding of the multifaceted relationship between migration and time.

Research Findings

This chapter reports on a study of student mobile practices in one high school in Tasmania. This school provided all year 7 and 8 students with iPod Touches, and aimed to explore new forms of pedagogy that reflected a more relevant and contemporary curriculum for young people in the 21st century. Surveys and interviews were conducted with students to explore the effectiveness of the school’s program, as well as to understand the kinds of common practices students engaged in with mobile technologies in general. Surprisingly, the results revealed that the school practices were emerging somewhat slowly and students reported mixed comments about the program. Based on the research findings, recommendations are offered to teachers in order to maximize the benefits of mobile learning (commonly referred to as mLearning) to enhance pedagogy.

Abstract Despite the increased risks and vulnerabilities that children and young people face due to the Coronavirus (covid-19), they are also some of the most active in their participatory responses to this global emergency. Drawing on transdisciplinarity, this paper considers how covid-19 has opened up new spaces and opportunities for the participation of children. For example, young people across the globe have been actively involved in raising digital awareness about covid-19, participating in environmental activism, and engaging in unique educational opportunities. While children and young people are often constructed as vulnerable, innocent and in need of protection, this pandemic reveals that they can transcend these adultist constructs.

The question of morality has always been an important issue in a society. Furthermore, moral education is a key framework for personal development. In the 21st century, there is an increasing issue of how to teach young people morality. This paper presents how moral education is conducted in China and the US, with the aim of introducing and inspecting their examples, considering thus our moral education from another perspective and giving suggestions how to change it and how to implement it. Moral education only makes sense if extends throughout all levels of education, including not merely theoretical level but also practical activities, which are highlighted in this paper. These practical activities should not be isolated examples of enthusiastic individuals, but a systemic solution. There is a need for a specific curriculum for implementation of moral education in schools through school subjects and extracurricular activities, activities with a class teacher, charity actions, individual rewards, competitions in motivational speeches or essays about morality, and so on. Briefly, it is necessary that morality becomes an integral part of everyday life both in school and out of it.

As this is a national survey on the young generation between 15-29 years, its informative value is for the client (Office of the Republic of Slovenia for Youth) society as a whole is of paramount importance. Our goal is primarily to realize the basic purpose of the research, which is to provide support in the Office in the next few years with the help of Youth 2020 with evidence of supported formulation of public policies in the field of youth. Along with the research, the contractors also prepared recommendations that can serve as a starting point for the design of measures. The latter should provide young people with better conditions for the transition to adulthood, and adults a peaceful maturity, aware that the young generation is empowered and well prepared to face all life circumstances. Is that true? So what is our youth like on the threshold of the 21st century?
