Youth Leadership: problems of youth participation in political life
https://doi.org/10.21453/2311-3065-2022-10-1-98-106
Abstract
The article reveals the problems of youth participation in political communications in the conditions of the information society and the new forms of political interaction (online / offline). The authors proceed from the premise that youth participation in political communication includes not only activities associated with traditional forms (voting, membership in political parties), but also with negative actions (extremism, xenophobia, terror, etc.) and hence political and civic education plays a significant role in the study of the political system and decision-making processes. The author’s approach is to consider social media as a modern tool for expanding civic participation in the modern political process, the use of which creates the possibility of creating and developing the image of a youth leader. New possibilities and forms of political communication have opened up prospects for research on the political participation of young people, and it seems to remain a trend for to researchers, politicians and youth workers in the near future.
