Reshaping Youth Participation reframes discussions around youth
political, social, civic, and cultural participation. Drawing upon
insights on democracy and citizenship, self-organising and protest
movements, and arts activism as engaged social activism, the
chapters consider the youth participation spaces in which young
people find voice and action-spaces that are part of existing forms
of participation, and newly emergent spaces that challenge existing
systems. Set in Manchester, Reshaping Youth Participation
contextualises youth participation in a major UK city known for its
activism and regional devolution, alongside studies from partner
European cities. Exploring the participation of young people in
'adult spaces', of young people who are pursuing a new politics and
ideological change, of marginalised young people, and of young
people utilising the creative arts as a 'lived politics', the
authors argue that youth participation provides a vital addition to
sustaining and developing political, social, and democratic life in
cities. Celebrating youth participation and its myriad forms,
triumphs, and challenges, this edited collection provides much
needed innovative thinking to the study of youth participation. It
is an important contribution for young people themselves,
academics, policymakers, local policy experts and makers, local
activists, and community advocates.
