​Of late, youth has become the center of a kind of “culture war,” leading to polarized opinions about their lifeworlds and capacities. Terms like “radical youth” and “lying flat youth” have caricatured and labelled them, often missing many who want to care and take constructive and proportionate actions to transform their communities.

 

Research shows that an individual with curiosity, empathy, and conscientiousness is more willing to contribute to society persistently, even through small actions. By creating social capital for different individuals to analyze and solve their problems, a bottom-up experiential approach is one of the most important steps. In this way, a program to develop a change-maker community is needed, by engaging participants from various backgrounds, including those less-engaged or so-called “moderate” youth.
