“…(Packham 2008). Individuals or groups of people who participate in voluntary activities indicate that the individual is capable of giving birth to a decision to involve himself despite the limitations of time and supporting resources (Richards-Schuster & Pritzker, 2015). It is this sense of care for others that should be improved from time to time and it is evident that the current sense of caring for the wider community is felt by the support of information and technology to communicate and cooperate.…”

The skills and participation of citizens are urgently needed for progress and prosperity in the community. Volunteerism opens opportunities for each individual to participate and contribute based on the knowledge and experience he has had in previous voluntary activities. Qualitative research implemented on this research, and ethnography method to explore the cultural background and young people engagement. Young people participation in voluntary activity has a positive impact on building community solidarity that strengthens togetherness and kinship. Sympathy and empathy are strengths in increasing individual motivation in voluntary activities. Volunteerism creates space for interaction and communication between individuals involvement in social activities.

“…The CRC emphasises children's right to consult, express their worldview and influence their lives and the services provided for them (Richards-Schuster and Pritzker, 2015;United Nations, 1989).

This article is based on a participatory, context-informed study that examined perception of 'risk' and 'protection' among 30 Bedouin children aged four to five. It was conducted in the Bedouin unrecognised villages -Southern Israel and utilised photography, drawings and verbal explanations. The analysis yielded seven themes representing children's perceptions of risk and protection. It indicated that children facing extreme adversity were aware of numerous risk conditions, including a lack of infrastructure and the fear of losing their homes, thus adversely affecting their well-being. Children's insights, and suggested modes of protection, as the study findings reveal, are crucial for promoting children's welfare.

“…While various definitions of youth can be found in literature, this article adopts that of the European Union, which defines young people as those aged 15-29 (Coyette et al, 2015). A considerable amount of literature has been published on youth participation (Checkoway and Gutiérrez, 2006; Checkoway and Richards-Schuster, 2005; Egbo, 2012; Head, 2011; Loncle et al, 2012; Print, 2007; Richards-Schuster and Pritzker, 2015). Youth participation is viewed globally as a right protected by the Convention of the Rights of the Child, which was established in 1959, and served as the basis for the Convention of the Rights of the Child (CRC) adopted by the United Nations in 1989.…”

“…Articles 12–15 are concerned with the specific rights of young people to participate, voice their opinions, freely assemble, and engage in discussions relating to their well-being (McMillan and Simkiss, 2009). Young people are therefore perceived not only as vulnerable members of society, but as equal contributors and potential agents of change (Richards-Schuster and Pritzker, 2015). Meaningful involvement of young citizens can lead to social change, thus ‘helping people to participate must be not restricted to asking their options’ (Loncle et al, 2012: 3).…”

13Current scholarly debate around digital participatory youth projects and 14 approaches to their evaluation are examined in this article. The analysis of the literature 15 presented here reveals (1) an over-reliance on traditional evaluation techniques for such 16 initiatives, and (2) a scarcity of models for the assessment of the social impact of digital 17 participatory youth projects. It is concluded that the challenges and limitations of social 18 impact evaluation practice in digital participatory youth projects should be addressed 19 through the adoption of alternative, participant-centred approaches. These issues are 20 discussed in reference to a current ongoing study that seeks to identify solutions for 21 enhancing social impact evaluations of participatory digital initiatives by young people. 22
