Today, young people live their lives with personal connectivity.
Their mobile digital devices provide a steady stream of
information, anytime and anyplace. The result is that young people
offer a unique perspective on global issues due to the
commodification of knowledge and personal mobility facilitated
through social media. Designed to highlight student voices from
multiple perspectives and diverse socio-cultural contexts, this
book brings together case studies from researchers, teachers, and
students on every continent. Students in the US, Australia, the UK,
the Netherlands, Finland, Singapore, Taiwan, Chile, Colombia, and
Kenya reveal overlapping interests related to the future of our
planet, including the environment, health and wellbeing, their
families, education, and jobs. The concept of global citizenship is
explored, looking beyond the local to embrace an interconnected
world. The final chapter reflects on these findings and explores
how the behaviors, essential values, and beliefs of young people
are being modified. The book concludes with suggestions related to
how students' voices can add to the quality of educational
decision-making for the future.
