The session will bring up how young people in the changing 21st century perform social and political engagement outside traditional party politics through music globally. The scope will be how young people form their identities through musical activism, at the same time as they develop as members of a society that they wish to be more equal. In the currently changing world, young people are affected by and involved by in a variety of societal developments. The extent, and the ways in which they share their thoughts and engagements, as well as the extent and the ways in which their experiences are heard and listened to, decisively influence the future world. The session will bring light to and discuss in what ways youngsters’ growing mistrust regarding social policy encourages musical activism. What themes are engaging young people? In which fora are they communicating? What kind of musical expressions are used?
