The Borough of Rangiora, lying twenty miles north-west of Christchurch, provided the setting for an experiment in community recreation from 1945 - 1953. I began the experiment not from any consideration of the overall problems of youth's adjustment to community life but from a felt desire to supply the means of meeting the needs of the young people of the town in the field of recreation. The record of this experiment and the contribution it made towards a richer life for many young men and women should provide a source of information of some value for those who are concerned with the happiness and welfare of youth and who realise the social implications of guided recreational activities.

This chapter is devoted to the single life. First it contains a section devoted to the issue of consent: who gives consent for the entry into monastic life, parents or the child? This section is followed by a discussion on single women in monastic and lay environments. The final section is devoted to single men in lay and monastic environments. The majority of single men and women were held hostage by economic circumstances rather than their own agency or choice. The relatively small group of religious young men and women entered their future destination by a combination of parental choice and their own agency. The increase in texts charting the generational battle for consent should be seen firmly in the wider context of a demand for choice amongst young people, especially women.

This paper discusses the reasons why Italian young people today are not in a position to develop a memory of their own regarding the fascist regime of the recent past. Neither families, nor schools and media, could transmit experiences and provide learning opportunities that enables young men and women to construct an adequate image of that period of their historical heritage. Fascism has become the object of a process of collective removal.

Late Nineteenth

Until the late nineteenth century, apprenticeship was the main way in which young people were trained in crafts and trades. Given that most apprenticeship terms lasted approximately seven years, young people could expect to spend a large part of their youth in service to another. Apprenticeship therefore coincided with an important phase in the life cycle of many young men (and women) during this period. A study of apprenticeship not only tells us how young people learned the skills with which they made their future living, it also casts light on the process of ‘growing up’. However, we still know little about the everyday lives of apprentices, their relationships with their masters, and how young people themselves understood the transition from adolescence to adulthood. Drawing largely on the diary of John Tennent (1772–1813), a grocer’s apprentice who kept a record of his time spent in service, this article aims to broaden our understanding of these themes in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Ireland. It demonstrates that, for young middle-class men like Tennent, apprenticeship played a key role in the transition from boy to manhood.

This is a paper on the transformation of campus activism in Japan since the 1990’s. Japan’s so-called freeter movements (movements of young men and women lacking regular employment) are often said to have emerged as young people shifted their base of activism from campuses to the “street”. However, campuses have continued to play a role in activism. Although the radical student organisations of the New Left have waned, new movements are forming among students and precarious university employees in response to neoliberalization trends in society and the precarization of their conditions. This transformation has gone hand in hand with a shift of action repertoire towards forms of direct action such as squatting, sitins, hunger strikes, and opening “cafés”. In this paper I focus on the development of campus protest in Kyoto from the mid-1990s until today to shed light on the following questions: How have campus-based activists responded to the neoliberalization of Japanese universities? What motivates them to use art or art-like forms of direct action and how are these activities related to space? I investigate the notions of space towards which activists have been oriented since the 1990’s, focusing on three notions: official public space, counter-space and no-man’s-land. These conceptions of space, I argue, are needed to account for the various forms campus protest has taken since the 1990s.

Abstract BackgroundDespite effective biomedical tools, adolescents and young men and women carry the dual burden of high HIV incidence and high morbidity/mortality in South Africa. We integrated community-based participatory research (CBPR) with biomedical interventions to develop a peer-led biosocial intervention for HIV care and prevention in young people living in rural KwaZulu-Natal (KZN).MethodsBetween March 2018 and September 2019 we used CBPR to iteratively co-create and contextually adapt a biosocial peer-led intervention to support HIV prevention. Men and women aged 18–30 years were selected by community leaders of 21 intervention implementation areas (izigodi) and underwent 20 weeks of training as peer-navigators. We synthesised quantitative and qualitative data collected between 2016 and 2018 into 17 vignettes illustrating the local drivers of HIV. During two participatory intervention development workshops and community mapping, the peer-navigators discussed the vignettes in small groups, brainstormed solutions and mapped the components to their own izigodi. The intervention components were plotted to a Theory of Change (ToC). Following a six-month pilot, the peer-navigators used process evaluation data and experience to refine the ToC in a third workshop.ResultsFollowing written and oral assessments 57 of the 108 initially selected participated in the two workshops to discuss the vignettes and co-create the Thetha Nami (talk to me) intervention. During the pilot the peer-navigators approached 6871 young people, of whom 6141 (89%) accepted health promotion and 438 linked to care. During semi-structured interviews peer-navigators described the appeal of providing sexual health information to peers of a similar age and background but wanted to provide more than just “onward referral”. In the third participatory workshop 54 peer-navigators refined the Thetha Nami intervention to include:· Structured assessment tool to tailor support.· Safe spaces and community advocacy to create an enabling environment for HIV prevention.· Peer-led sexual health promotion to improve self-efficacy and demand for HIV prevention.· Accessible youth-friendly clinical services to improve uptake of HIV prevention.· Peer-mentorship to navigate resources and improve retention in HIV prevention.ConclusionLocal youth were able to use evidence to develop a contextually adapted peer-led intervention to deliver biosocial HIV prevention and care.

The Town

Daxi is a famous historical town of north Taiwan, because of the preservation of the historic buildings of streets. It began to build the home identity of the locals from the 1990s. By the community participation shown the ancient culture of the town successfully, it became an attractive place for the tourism in Taiwan during the recent ten years. While the industry and lifestyle in the town are changing, it has a bearing on the power of the community groups. The life in the town is not convenient and low quality. Young people were left to work outside the community, and the social relation is to harden into stone. By the time goes on, the sense of place is changing to reconstruct the “Local.” While the industry changed, the culture is much different from the traditional, and the young people have a different dream of their home community. We found some alienated feeling in young people of the town from the workshop discussion of the “Dasi-field school”.However, in recent three years, the eco-museum project by participating with the local people, and it stimulated some learning programs in the community. In these two years, some young people would like to stay in the community and have some creative businesses. The occurrence of educational activities facilitates the translation of local knowledge. Through this study, we tried to understand if local people's sense of place was changed, as well as young people's identity of community life.In this action research, firstly, we had data analysis about the community learning-landscape of the community. Finally, we want to discuss how learning programs make sense of the neighborhood change and flow. Based on experiential research, we came up with a learning landscape model, in an attempt to construct the interactive relation between learning and community identity. Furthermore, we presented a new partner relation between community development and the design of educational courses.

This study found that there were differences in attitudes between male and female rural youth related to work in the rice agriculture sector. Parents were the actors who most highly socialize the value of agriculture to young men and women in the form of involving the activities of growing rice, cultivating land, and harvesting. Meanwhile, both parents and peers have positively correlated with the attitudes of young men and women about work in the agricultural sector.</em><em></em></p>

Dating is an irresistible phenomenon in today's youth life. Actually, dating is a way that brings youth in two directions, towards a good or bad life. Therefore all parties in the community must be wise to anticipate. Proverbs 30: 18-19 can be a theological basis for the phenomenon of dating. Interestingly, numerical poetry in this text can give direction about relationships between young men and women. In this text, we can see that poems direct all audiences through observing the movements of objects in nature, can observe the essence of the formation of relations between men and women. Practically, this text can be applied to equip young people in anticipating the phenomenon of dating. Every young couple who is committed to dating must be equipped with this theological basis, so that their lives can be constantly built physically, mentally and spiritually. To apply the text of the Proverbs 30: 18-19 is an attempt to answer it.Abstrak: Bepacaran adalah fenomena yang tak tertahankan dalam kehidupan remaja saat ini. Berpacaran adalah cara yang membawa kehidupan remaja ke dua arah, menuju kehidupan yang baik atau buruk. Semua pihak dalam masyarakat harus bijak mengantisipasinya. Amsal 30:18-19 dapat menjadi dasar teologis untuk fenomena berpacaran. Menariknya, sejumlah puisi dalam teks ini memberikan arahan tentang hubungan antara pria dan wanita. Dalam teks ini dapat dilihat bahwa penyair mengarahkan pembaca dengan mengamati pergerakan benda-benda di alam yang dapat menjadi dasar dari pembentukan hubungan antara pria dan wanita. Secara praktis, teks ini dapat diterapkan untuk memperlengkapi kaum muda dalam mengantisipasi fenomena berpacaran. Setiap pasangan remaja yang berkomitmen untuk berpacaran harus dilengkapi dengan dasar teologis ini, sehingga kehidupan mereka dapat terus dibangun secara fisik, mental dan spiritual. Menerapkan teks Amsal 30:18-19 merupakan upaya untuk menjawabnya.
