Should students be encouraged to participate in social activism from a young age, and why?

Yes, discrimination is thought young, and children follow the ‘trend’ their peers do, hoping to fit in. If they see young people being activists they would be more encouraged to develop good political views

Nope, they should be encouraged to participate in social engagement with peers and their community. That way they can build a foundation of real life experience before they go off shouting about things about which they’re so uninformed that they don’t recognise their errors. Their complete ignorance of the world needs to be addressed before we teach them to weaponise half-truths.

Democratic and useful pragmatic societal mores should be instilled into Children they should be encouraged to participate in a democratic society and have strong sense of community as well as respect their fellow citizen.

Students should be encouraged to participate in social activism from a young age, because it will boost their social confidence and make them better citizens.

Yes to bring about change and also show where change is needed

Yes it’s important to voice your opinion on political manners even when younger

social activism can help people become familiar with social movements they identify with and allow them to gain an understanding of the political system before they begin to vote. therefore, it should be encouraged but not forced.

Absolutely to gain better social skills which are critical in the working world

I don't think that students should be encouraged but they should definitely not be discouraged as long as they don't harm others in the process. I think you should rather teach them how to lead a constructive debate and how to work with data and science. But I do think that you should teach them what reliable sources are, which news agencies have a tendency to lie and most importantly what's going on in their country and the world and maybe have some sort of debate in a controlled environment every once in a while.

Yes all political decisions made will effect young people for longer than those older.

Yes. I believe once they've reached voting age, they should be involved. After all, they are the leaders & general public of the future. They should be involved in the design of their futures.

Yes, because the next generation should stand up for their rights (in a legal, non violent manner).

if under 16, no, they havent matured enough yet. After that it is okay to do but encouragment should be left to parents or peers, not teachers

Because we wish to create a good citizen from the studen.

Yes the Youth should be well informed but not persuaded to follow any specific party

No as usually the youth are worsening the problem and it hypocritical
