“It’s What We’re About”: Youth Epistemologies in the Design of Social and Educational Futures

ABSTRACT This article discusses how activist-oriented BIPOC youth designed an annual conference rooted in youth culture and social justice. As a participant-observer, I analyze how these youth co-constructed a teaching and learning curriculum centered on young people’s identities, epistemologies, and radical imaginings. The process of the youth leaders developing criteria for evaluating proposal submissions for this conference reveals how young people understand and co-construct pedagogical ideas that are socially, culturally, and critically relevant for their daily lives and futures. By examining youth-developed approaches to community-based learning, this study expands on theories of youth voice and youth civic literacies by revealing how young people engage in and disrupt educational practices and how authentic, critical approaches to youth-centered learning are developed in a collective third space.

Pedagogic support for youth leadership development in the digital age

Youth education differs from similar processes aimed at both children and adults, so the postulates of both pedagogy and andragogy in this area do not always work. The article is devoted to the analysis of the process of pedagogic support of the leaders of future changes and the justification of its possibilities for the socialisation of the youth of the digital era. The authors attempt to resolve the contradictions between the new challenges of the post-globalisation era and the insufficient effectiveness of traditional methods, forms and technologies of raising leaders of future changes. Arguments are given in favour of proving the need to take into account the socio-cultural characteristics of the formation of modern youth simultaneously in two worlds (real and virtual) to build pedagogic strategies to support youth leadership. The data of an empirical study of the study of the socio-role identity of young leaders are presented and analysed. It is concluded that the pedagogic support of modern young leaders should be aimed not at preferences that produce their inflated self-esteem, but at eliminating the imbalance, including through a creative approach to promoting social ideas in global networks and making commitments to care not only about personal well-being, but also about the public good.

The success of sustainable development goals (SDGs) in rural areas requires the role of stakeholders both horizontally and vertically between the community and the government. This study concludes that the involvement of cadre groups has a significant role in the successful implementation of the sustainable development program in rural areas.
