Course Aims

This course aims to enable students to acquire basic knowledge about youth studies (see CILO 1, 2), and to apply this knowledge in analyzing youth issues and problems in a fast changing world (see CILO 3, 4). The course will introduce basic approaches to youth studies, examining the ways in which changing sociocultural and technological conditions are interwoven with issues related to youth development. Students will be engaged in discussions and debates concerning current issues related to youth development in the local and global contexts, such as sexuality, online dating, cybersex, drugs, age-based censorship, online games, bullying, youth civic engagement, volunteerism and positive youth development.
