They face intersecting crises such as the climate crisis, rising unemployment, deepening inequalities and the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, young people are often also at the forefront in responding to these issues in many communities &#8211; learning various repertoires of social action that constantly change. Against the backdrop of ceaseless flow of information, young people need to sift through a multitude of information both in \u2018traditional\u2019 and \u2018new\u2019 media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-364 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/balid.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/posing-g917b00f25_1280-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"401\" height=\"267\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BALID is curating a blog series to explore the role that learning (particularly <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">informal <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">learning) and literacies play in young people\u2019s lives (beyond formal schooling), livelihoods and social action. The series hopes to feature young people\u2019s work and ideas, inspire intergenerational conversation and become the basis for future action \/ research in these areas. We invite academics, practitioners, youth-involving organisations, activists and young people themselves to join us in conversation around the broad theme above and\/or to explore the following questions:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What sorts of learning occur when people engage in their daily activities online and offline (e.g. at home and in their wider community)?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What kinds of knowledge do young people have and value? And, in turn, what are some of the best practices or programmes that value young people\u2019s knowledge and skills?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do young people use texts, words and other forms of literacies in their everyday lives and in engaging with issues that are important to them?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If interested, please email Yeonhee Sun (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">yeonheesun1@gmail.com<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) or Chris Millora (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">c.millora@gold.ac.uk<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) with a brief description on what you plan to write.\u00a0We welcome various blog formats such as video-based, animations, conversations and others.
