Theme
Research has shown that Danish young people are obedient, conventional, and generally unwilling to engage in activism. We talked to a researcher and an activist student about this.
»I get upset and I get frustrated, and that's my motivation. I need hope, and I don’t want to feel powerless all the time.«
In the course of two years, students moved from being virtually invisible in the climate debate to capturing the agenda and making demands on both university management and the decision makers in the Danish parliament.
