“…We tried to recruit additional schools which were more ethnically diverse, but did not succeed, both because of practical reasons (e.g. busy school schedules and approaching summer holidays) and to the topic of the survey (see also Leurs 2012). Diversity in terms of sexual preferences, practices and identifications was also not very extensive, with heterosexuality being dominant.…”

Empowerment through sex education? Rethinking paradoxical policies

Youth empowerment is the main goal of sex education according to Dutch Government and NGO policies. Academics from different disciplines have argued, however, that the ideal of empowerment through education is problematic, because of the unequal power relations implicated in educational practices. Building on one-anda-half years of online and offline ethnographic fieldwork among Dutch youth, this article argues that Dutch sex educational policies inhibit rather than encourage young people's empowerment by allowing only a limited number of sexual knowledge building practices to thrive while making others nearly impossible. In order to facilitate young people's empowerment, policies should aim to create space for young people to develop their own themes and priorities, to offer a multitude of perspectives, to set the pace and to use different strategies for sexual knowledge building, including learning by doing and online learning. This requires a cultural shift that involves both an openness to young people's experimentation, and a change in existing power hierarchies based on age.

“…Mediakasvatuksen näkökulmasta on kiinnostavaa, millaisia vaikutuksia katseen kohteena olemisella ja kuvitelluilla tai todellisilla katsojilla voi olla sosiaalisessa mediassa. Leurs (2015) tutki marokkolais-hollantilaisten nuorten tapoja käyttää sosiaalista mediaa, ja hänen haastattelemansa nuoret kokivat toiselle puhumisen helpommaksi netissä, koska silloin ei tarvitse katsoa toista silmiin; tällöin on vähemmän estoja sanoa asioita, joita ei tulisi sanottua kasvokkain. Keskustelu myös koettiin helpommaksi netissä, koska toinen ei silloin näe kasvojen välittömiä reaktioita, kuten punastumista.…”

“…Against this backdrop, contemporary youth scholarship has increasingly sought out new vocabularies and methodologies with which to understand continuity and change in a global context. Within this literature, a central conundrum relates to the extent to which contemporary youth culture is routed through global resources for identity formation (Bennett and Robards, 2014;Smith and Hetherington, 2013)-such as digital technology, cultural flow and online networks-or rooted in local places, spaces and real-world connections (Leurs, 2015;McQuire, 2008).…”

In recent years, a paradox has emerged in the study of youth. On the one hand, in the context of the processes of globalization, neoliberalism and precarity, the patterning of leisure and work for young people is becoming increasingly convergent across time and space. On the other hand, it is clear that young people's habits and dispositions remain deeply tied to local places, with global processes filtered and refracted through specific cultural contexts. Against this backdrop, drawing on an Economic and Social Research Council/Research Grants Council (ESRC/RGC)-funded study of contemporary youth in Glasgow and Hong Kong, this article seeks to explore the role of the city as a mediating lens between global forces and local impacts. Utilizing both historical and contemporary data, the article argues that despite parallels in the impact of global forces on the structure of everyday life and work, young people's leisure habits remain rooted in the fates and fortunes of their respective cities.
