How young people can find their place in a changing world | Research for the Real World

As societies face growing political and social tensions, citizenship education is increasingly being asked to help young people make sense of the world around them.

In this episode, Jason Ilagan hears from Hans Svennevig about research into the knowledge citizenship teachers need and how classrooms can support informed, active participation in society. The conversation explores democracy, human rights, identity, sustainability, peace education and the ethical challenges raised by artificial intelligence.

Hans reflects on what it means to educate citizens for an uncertain future and why citizenship education is ultimately about empowering young people to take action.
