Ukrainian youth from the beginning of the country’s independence was a catalyst for democratic changes. From the Revolution on Granite, through the Sumy’s Revolution on Grass and Orange Revolution to the Revolution of Dignity and the war in the East, undeniably it was the youth who fought for the future of Ukraine. While appreciating the contribution of young people to the contemporary history of Ukraine, it is essential to ask which national heroes and what historical events are important to the young generation. Thanks to the research conducted in 2017-2018 on a representative group of Ukrainian youth (1043 respondents), the author can answer that question. The results show that there are no surprises; the research confirms the all-Ukrainian results and shares knowledge on this subject. However, it is worth emphasizing some surprises, as well as the frequent selection of the answer “neutral attitude” to historical events, which may indicate the lack of historical knowledge among the surveyed youth.

Entrepreneurship, which is one of the most important elements of the production-supply dimension of the economy, is also the main determinants of economic growth, including economic growth in the context of positive externalities emerging from the information age. It is clear that the development is linked to industrialization, which is related to spirit of innovative thinking. Therefore, undeveloped must be considered in concert with the lack of innovative thinking. According to Schumpeter, who defines entrepreneurship in such an understanding as "the replacement of the present and the future of Pareto Optimum with tomorrow's new and different things," this factor also encompasses innovation. Therefore, factors such as the characteristics of the entrepreneur, the risk perception profile and the socio-economic, socio-cultural and demographic structure of the population in which it is located can have significant effects on the development and development of entrepreneurship. In this study, it is aimed to investigate what factors are more effective on the perception of entrepreneurship by using the statistical methods on Erzincan University Students, taking into consideration that today's students will be the future production factor (labor or enterprise). Another important goal of the paper is to determine whether the entrepreneurship factor, which has a significant role in the development of the country and especially in urban development, is based on scientific or traditional elements. It can be considered that the existence and sustainability of the enterprise spirit will be tested with the awareness of the opportunities and opportunities for incentives to act rationally.

Langen Mandrawanara is one of rare arts, created by Patih Danurejo in the reign of Sultan Hamengkubuwana VIII. Besides its low frequency of performance, the rareness is caused by the difficulties of that dance with Ramayana epic theme. The art of Langen Mandrawanara is performed with squatting and the dialogs are carried out through tembang, traditional Javanese songs. The difficulties make Langen Mandrawanara less interesting to young generation incapable of singing the songs. As the time goes by, efforts are made by art groups and organizations to preserve Langen Mandrawanara, which are good steps to support the art preservation. The one carried out by Langen Mandrawanara community in Sembungan Village, Bangunjiwo, Bantul becomes the key to the future of the art. The endeavor also becomes an appeal to the tourists. The application of pseudo traditional arts is quite relevant as an attempt to keep Langen Mandrawanara art improving, without neglecting its essential aspects to be preserved. Using a dynamic concept of performance, Langen Mandrawanara is hoped to attract the viewers, especially of the young generation. Key words: Langen Mandrawanara, preservation, tourism

The goal of this article is twofold. First, to illustrate how in the last decade a growing number of critical and Marxist thinkers committed to discussing and developing theories of change have started to broaden their focus by including social movements and grassroots initiatives that are “interstitial”, i.e. initiatives that are developing within capitalism and are striving to prefigure a post-capitalist society in the here and now without engaging in contentious, violent and revolutionary actions and activities. To achieve this, I mainly focus on the work of four authors: Erik Olin Wright, John Holloway, Ana C. Dinerstein, and Luke Martell. The second goal of this article is to understand why these interstitial movements are getting so much attention from critical scholars and to argue that the time is ripe for establishing a theory of (and for) prefigurative social movements. The article closes with some brief reflections on the future of radical thinking that includes an invitation, directed mostly at the young generation of critical and Marxist scholars, to begin a dialogue with theories of change developed within other disciplines, to engage with activists, and to experiment with participatory methods and techniques.

This article is aimed at studying the bias of the pesantren orientation, pesantren transformation and its implication on the institutional development of the pesantren. The findings give indication that this educational institution has, slowly but surely, been unable to realize its identity as the agent of social changes. At the same time, young generation who are graduates of both general and Islamic high schools and universities have begun to play a strategic role in the management and leadership of pesantren in particular and ummah in general. Therefore, it is essential for pesantren to understand the basic idea of modernization in education. With this knowledge, pesantren will be able to make some revision toward the ideal form of pesantren in the future.

Aim. A quantitative study on generational differences showed a decrease in optimism among the young generation (Karaivanova, 2016). The present work aims to study in detail the relationship between individualistic values, self-esteem, and optimism among the Millennial generation. Optimism is a general expectation for positive results and positive events in life (Radoslavova & Velichkov, 2005). Method. A sample of 204 respondents from 20 to 35 years old voluntarily filled in a survey containing scales measuring individualistic values, self-esteem, and optimism. The relationship between these variables was tested using regression and mediation analyses. The results were processed using the statistical software SPSS, version 22.0.0.0, and the lavaan application in R Studio. Results. The theoretical model created and tested in this study proved to have good explanatory power for the dependent variable optimism explaining one-third of its variance and gives significant clarity on the relationship between individualistic values, self-esteem, and optimism for the young generation in Bulgaria. Conclusion. Individualistic values turned out to predict self-esteem. The more individualistic a person is, the higher they perceive their competences and social image. At the same time, being individualistic, i.e. being open for change and following one’s own interests does not make young people look more optimistically towards the future and believe in the solution of every problem they encounter. Individualistic values have a positive mediated effect on optimism with self-esteem as a mediator. Having strong self-confidence makes young people have positive expectations for the future.

The purpose of this article is to reveal the experiences of the higher education accreditation model and expectations of the freedom to learn policy or “Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka” (MBKM). Indonesia has more than 4000 higher education institutions that are building quality to educate the nation’s life. But only a few of these managed to become centers of excellence. There has been a widening quality gap between universities in Java and outside Java. Without radical policies in the higher education sector, the future of the young generation will be threatened. MBKM policy, with a few notes, can be an alternative solution for the 21st century.

This work reconstructs opinions concerning national education in independent Poland presented in 1916-1918 in the magazine titled Szkoła Polska (Polish School) – a body of a local division of Stowarzyszenie Nauczycielstwa Polskiego (Polish Teachers’ Association) in Lublin. The main goal of education was understood as instilling patriotism in the young generation of Poles based on their own most valuable achievements rather than on remembrance of injuries and persecution suffered at the hands of the enemy. It was believed that the memory of the past should be cherished, yet it could not dominate the present and the future. It was demanded that 7-year obligatory elementary schools should be established as well as 4-year secondary schools and 3-4-year occupational schools. What was deemed important was the need to involve illiterate adults in mandatory schooling and to provide additional education to graduates. It was maintained that the reborn Polish education system should be open to the latest pedagogical trends and, most of all, it should replace verbalism and teaching from books with teaching through experience. It was the teachers that were supposed to guarantee good education of children and teenagers, as they were active, creative, independent, had requisite professional qualifications, and were willing to self-educate.
