Multilingual space is considered as one of the most important parts of the cultural environment that becomes a challenge for international students. The research ex-amined the multilingual space of St. Petersburg from the perspective of young people from China. Included observation, short interviews and analysis of Chi-nese freshmen essays serve as a source for the formation of a database of multi-lingual objects of everyday life of Chinese students and reveal language problems as the main challenges in the city multilingual space for a foreigner. The authors proposed an approach dividing the multilingual space of the city into space of communication and the "physical space of the language", existing vertically in three levels (city, university and personal areas). Expansion of the multilingual space at all levels due to the digital environment can significantly improve the language adaptation of students Although a coherent digital environment that provides the Chinese dimension to a multilingual environment does not yet exist. However, such elements as specially developed electronic guides and dictionaries, maps, augmented reality applications, communication platforms in social networks, etc. contribute to its future creation

This chapter considers the prospect of a deeper understanding of social interactions in urban settings as well as their significance for the functioning and future role of cities and regions. It introduces broader sets of tools for exploring the properties of urban networks, from the lowest microscale up to the highest levels of aggregation. Graph theory, for example, offers a promising means of elucidating the urban social fabric and the interactions that define it, and more specifically the link between urban infrastructure and aspatial social networks. The chapter also compares individuals and their social interactions to an archipelago, a metaphor that offers a picture of the magic of the city. It concludes by emphasizing the interdependence between the creation of cities over physical space, on the one hand, and the urban archipelago and its internal social and economic structures, which are man-made, on the other.

Following Sayer’s (2010) examination of reflexivity and habitus, we focus on thetransnational habitus(Darvin & Norton 2015) of Aaron, a Chinese international student at a U.S. university. Specifically, we examine how he wrestled with being identified as an ESL learner despite having attended a U.S. high school. Also exploring the relationship between reflexivity and emotions (Flam 2010), we draw on his written work, interviews, and his WeChat conversations. Our findings revealed that as a result of positioning himself as being better than the other Chinese students on campus (because of his English proficiency) and distancing himself from domestic U.S. students, Aaron did not capitalize on his Chinese-English bilingualism to extend his local social networks, which exacerbated his growing isolation at his home university. In tracing his emotional trajectory and strategies to cope with his predicament, we problematize the grand narrative of theglobal elite(Vandrick 2011) that overlooks the challenges encountered by affluent international students.

Social Pedagogy

This chapter describes how most young people use online networks to extend and maintain their lives in the familiar contexts of school, cultural organizations, sports, and other activities. The new generations move about on social networks, create links, and share knowledge, and the delocalization of these connections allows them to function beyond any physical space. This chapter presents examples of different youth perspectives on digital participation (social, political and citizen, community participation projects, etc.) and examines some assumptions about what youth participation means (online, online–offline, click participation, new content production, projects owned by youth, and projects for youth). Finally, it provides some guidelines to support social pedagogy professionals in this area.

В последнее десятилетие доля молодежи среди населения России заметно сократилась. Тем не менее эта социальная группа и ее досуговая деятельность представляют особый интерес для исследований, нацеленных на выявление хобби и увлечений современных молодых людей и их связь с аддиктивным поведением. Рассматривается содержательная составляющая понятия «досуговая деятельность» в молодежной среде. Отмечается наличие противоречий в использовании синонимичных понятий «досуг» и «свободное время». Характеризуются принципиальные различия между понятиями «досуг», «хобби» и «увлечение». Затронут вопрос связи современных хобби и увлечений молодежи с развитием кибераддиктивного поведения. Приводятся результаты исследования, проведенного среди школьников г. Томска, о выявлении интересов современной молодежи и наличии/отсутствии или предрасположенности подростковой группы к интернет-зависимости в связи с их досуговой деятельностью. Выявлено, что практически половина респондентов не имеет конкретного хобби. Установлено, что с более высокой вероятностью появление кибераддикции свойственно тем, у кого нет хобби вовсе, а также тем, чья досуговая деятельность является пассивной. Выявлена широкая распространенность увлечения социальными сетями и компьютерными играми у школьников г. Томска, при этом у более чем половины респондентов отмечена предрасположенность к интернет-зависимому поведению, а у пятой части опрошенных кибераддиктивное поведение уже сформировано. Despite the fact that in the last decade the percentage of young people among the population in Russia has noticeably decreased, this social group and its leisure activities are of particular interest for research aimed at identifying the hobbies and interests of modern young people and their connection with addictive behavior. The article examines the content of the concept of “leisure activities” in the youth environment. The presence of contradictions in the use of the synonymous concepts of “leisure” and “free time” is noted. Characterized the fundamental differences between the concepts of “leisure”, “hobby” and “interests”. The authors also touch on the issue of the relationship between modern hobbies and interests of young people with the development of cyber-addictive behavior. Presented the results of a study conducted among schoolchildren in Tomsk on identifying the interests of modern youth and the presence/absence or predisposition of the teenage group to Internet addiction in connection with their leisure activities. Revealed that almost half of the respondents do not have a specific hobby. When analyzing the data obtained during the study, revealed that, with a higher probability, the emergence of cyber addiction is characteristic of those who have no hobbies at all, as well as those whose leisure activities are passive. Also revealed that schoolchildren in the city of Tomsk are addicted to social networks and computer games, with more than half of the respondents revealed a predisposition to Internet-addicted behavior, and one fifth of the respondents have already formed cyber-addicted behavior.

Socially disadvantaged youth are a group to which prejudices are attached which question the appropriateness of their participation, communication and language in the digital setting. From this perspective, the aim of the present research proposes to identify the forms and expressions of communication used by socially disadvantaged young people from the city of Madrid in social networks. This will be examined as a tool for the development of interpersonal and social relatedness processes, which will enable inclusion and socialisation in contemporary society. To this end, a qualitative approach was proposed which enabled a set of core memos, codes, networks and categories to be established, through which study data were interpreted. WhatsApp images and interviews conducted with 78 informants were analysed using Atlas.ti 9 software. All participants belonged to a social group characterised by circumstances of social vulnerability. Of the main findings, it should be indicated that these young people exhibit a social network use that is not limited to engagement in digital leisure but, instead, is based on the exchange of communication. For this reason, these individuals have developed their own language, a fact that highlights specific traits of the digital culture to which they belong and contributes to disproving the idea that these young people use the digital setting inappropriately.

The Impact

Migration or the movement of people from one region to another has been going on for centuries. At the same time, educational migration is a relatively new form of migration, whose roots go back to the time when the countries of Asia and Africa were under colonial rule. A limited number of young people were selected to study in the higher educational institutions of the cities of the Empire, with the aim of their further work in the administrative centers of the colonies. Often, studying abroad is seen as a step towards migration in the future. International students, especially from developing countries, often stay in the host country after graduation. A foreign degree is often seen as an investment in finding a job after graduation, either in the host country or at home. Many host countries are interested in hiring talented foreign young people who have graduated from their universities. The article examines the dynamics of educational migration of Chinese students and the impact of the threat of the spread of the "coronavirus" on student migration from China. China is one of the leading countries that send students to study abroad. By the end of the last decade, the number of Chinese students abroad had become the largest group of international students in the world. The coronavirus outbreak has had a major impact on the mobility of international students. Australia, New Zealand, the US and Singapore were among the countries that have banned foreigners from leaving China since early February 2020, while thousands of Chinese students have returned to China.
