This seminar aims to develop and discuss recent trends on youth mobility in labour and higher education fields and its potential impact on European citizenship. What are the new generations of Europeans bringing to the sense of belonging and transnational identity? To what extent does this process lead to a consolidation of cultural cosmopolitanism or does it stimulate new nationalisms? What currents and movements are growing in the background? What contributions can we see in recent rebellious movements for democracy renewal? Or for democracy collapse?
In concrete terms, the following topics will be discussed in the Seminar:
- Old and new social movements (NSMs)
- Youth as a social category and social actor
- Youth and students movements: culture, environment, feminism, peace movements along the 60s.
- The EU as a free mobility space: Erasmus and work mobility
- Cosmopolitanism vs nationalisms
- Migration fluxes, information society and multiculturalism across Europe
- Examples and data exhibition
- Presentation of the Project «YOUTH Roads».
