Gen-Z is a true protest generation. What is driving this generation? What, is driving you?
The current generation of students is a protest generation. A w hopping 44% of the current generation of students in the Netherlands has participated in political action in the past five years, far exce eding the previous generations. And who can blame them? Students toda y inherit a world fraught with issues. From rising temperatures and o cean levels, to rising income and wealth inequalities. From the loom of war in our lands, to the horrible realities of wars around the wor ld.
It can get, all in all, a bit overwhelming. What to d o? Where to start? In this event series, 3D aims to address precisely these questions. Providing a safe and open dialogue on the issues pr essing down on students today, and aiming to provide you with prelimi nary tools to find constructive ways in which to deal with the pressu res of coming of age today.
In later events we will talk with experience-experts when it comes to realising social change, bot h through protest and through social entrepreneurship. In this first, kick-off event, however, we want to start with a broad gaze, before turning inwards.
For more than a year now, the world has seen young people taking to the streets. Starting off in the Global S outh, Gen-Z has taken the lead in demonstrations aiming to affect bro ad social change. What is driving these protests? How are they connec ted? And how are these movements faring now?
Even though the Netherlands, and Western Europe in general, seems relatively peac eful, here too students are feeling discontent about the current stat e of the world. What are the issues that this generation is facing? H ow do they cope? And, how does one channel one’s discontent? < /p>
We hope to welcome you on the 22nd of January to discuss these very issues and questions.
