About us:
This Worldwide Universities Network Study Group provides the opportunity for coordinated research and exchange of knowledge among an international community of academics, practitioners and policy-makers dedicated to understanding and developing civic engagement and learning in youth online environments.
The WUN Networking Young Citizens group addresses such questions as:
- What aspects of civic and citizenship learning transfer from classrooms to online environments, and what new vic practices are emerging online?
- How can new Web 2.0 tools and social networking applications help young people develop new civic capacities?
- How can traditional institutions of political socialization respond to new youth media practices?
- How might new social movements relate both to youth culture and mainstream politics through the use of new media?
- What civic learning goals and opportunities can we identify in different online environments?
