Hyvä, paha lähiö : nuoret ja asuinalueella syntyvä sosiaalinen pääoma

2018

Nuorten elämä kiinnittyy usein voimakkaasti asuinalueeseen ja lähiympäristöön. Viime vuosina sekä nuorten sosioekonominen eriarvoisuus että lähiöiden sosiaalinen eriytyminen ovat lisääntyneet. Joistakin ongelmista huolimatta huonomaineisetkin lähiöt tarjoavat nuorille positiivisia samaistumisen kohteita, tukiverkostoja, kaveriporukoita, identiteetin rakentamisen välineitä – ja sosiaalista pääomaa. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan, miten lähiössä asuvat ja kasvaneet nuoret kuvaavat asuinpaikkaansa ja sinne kiinnittyviä sosiaalisia suhteita. Aineistona on Tampereella Tesoman lähiössä asuvien nuorten yksilö- ja ryhmähaastatteluja, joita analysoidaan sekä aineisto-…

Rights of Young People and the European Social Charter

2021

The European Social Charter (alongside the case-law of the European Committee of Social Rights) forms the most striking binding legal source for young people’s social rights, providing a framework for synergies with both the European Union and the Council of Europe’s other instruments and mechanisms in this area. In the current times of pandemic, the most important thing is preventing the COVID-19 crisis (which has economic, political and social dimensions) from becoming a crisis of values among young people. From this perspective, on the one hand, the paper focuses on access of young people to education, labour market and housing. On the other hand, it proposes measures aimed at raising aw…

Soft-skills and labour market outcomes : the case of young people French graduates

2016

International audience; Young people throughout the course of their education and training within or outside the educational system can acquire a range of skills that they may make use of on the labour market. Much research has recently been done into the impact of soft skills, that is, non-cognitive skills, on the labour market in connection with "people skills" that might influence employability. We have attempted to construct soft-skill indicators and then to measure their effects on graduate pay on the basis of a study of a sample of masters graduates having responded to the Céreq Generation 2010 survey and re-surveyed in 2014. We show that certain soft skills explain a proportion of th…

Media education and educational commons for youth civic engagement. A case study from the Horizon 2020 project SMOOTH

2023

This study presents the preliminary findings of the first round of implementation of a case study included in the Horizon 2020 project SMOOTH. The project's main objective is to introduce and study the emergent paradigm of the educational commons as an alternative system of values and actions for promoting intercultural and intergenerational dialogue and establishing spaces of democratic citizenship that support the development of local communities. Our case study adopts this paradigm with insights derived from the field of media education. Hence, our research questions were as follows: (a) How do young people collectively experience and build the educational commons? (b) How do participant…
