Young People: Cross-cultural views and futures highlights student voices from multiple perspectives and diverse sociocultural contexts.
Bringing together case studies from researchers, teachers and students on every continent, Margaret Robertson and Sirpa Tani provide findings and reveal overlapping interests related to the future of our planet (including the environment, health, wellbeing, families, education and jobs) from Australia, Singapore, Taiwan, Chile, Colombia, the United States, Kenya, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland.
The final chapter in the book reflects on these findings and explores how the behaviours, essential values and beliefs of young people are being modified.
The book concludes with suggestions related to how the voice of students can add to the quality of educational decision-making for the future.
