Co młodzież chce powiedzieć światu?

What do young people want to tell the world? In the monograph, voice is given to young people of different ages, united by the shared experience of growing up. The narratives presented reveal a broad and diverse spectrum of situations and experiences of youth functioning in multiple, equivalent and parallel worlds. Exploring these worlds – through the stories told by adolescents – creates an opportunity for a deeper understanding of the ways in which young people perceive themselves and the reality that surrounds them. The focus is placed on phenomena and situations experienced by youth, which they consider significant and which motivate them to take action. Gaining insight into the life-worlds of contemporary adolescents encourages reflection on the need to design adequate forms of support that help young people in their everyday functioning and in the process of developing competencies associated with adulthood. The individual chapters of this publication were developed on the basis of research projects conducted at the Książnica Stargardzka by Małgorzata Mikut and by young female researchers affiliated with Student Research Group of Youth Pedagogues “Young Power”. The youth described are diverse in terms of age, knowledge, experience, living environments and ways of perceiving themselves and their surroundings. At the same time, their narratives clearly reveal existential anxieties, experiences of adolescent crises, as well as attitudes of agency, rebellion and engagement in issues they consider to be of high priority. The monograph is addressed primarily to adults – both those who interact with young people on a daily basis in various social spaces and those who do not remain in direct contact with them, yet nevertheless co-create the frameworks of their future.
