The current generat ion of students is a protest generation. A whopping 44% of the curren t generation of students in the Netherlands has participated in polit ical action in the past five years, far exceeding the previous genera tions. And who can blame them? Students today inherit a world fraught with issues. From rising temperatures and ocean levels, to rising in come and wealth inequalities. From the loom of war in our lands, to t he horrible realities of wars around the world.
It can ge t, all in all, a bit overwhelming. What to do? Where to start?
