Media literacy has increasingly been becoming a prerequisite of full citizen participation. The latter has been shifting, especially among the youth, from the traditional forms towards the non-conventional ones, see for example FridaysForFuture. The possiblities and abilities to get involved in public debate are, however, not distributed equally. According to numerous studies, one of the tools to narrow the 'participation gap' may be media literacy education (MLE). This thesis presents a participatory action research exploring the possibilities of the MLE for the development of the citizen participation of disadvantaged youth. It draws especially on a three-month intervention at the vocational school in Louny. 17 students aged 17-19 participated in the study in 2019. The volume of both empirical and theoretical research in this field has been growing. However, in the context of central Europe, it is a relatively under- researched area and studies of Czech vocational schools are very scarce. The thesis is also unique in its combination of on-line and off-line activities with public citizen action of the students, and in stressing the blending of in-school and outside-school life. Among others, the research empirically tested a set of characteristics of teaching methods and concluded with a...

Starting in mid-2019, I pursued ethnographic research with Muslim migrant youth aged 17-22, hailing from Syria, Iran, Yemen, and Italy. Using semi-structured interviews as a primary mode of data collection and participant observations, we have explored topics related to gender, belonging, ethnicity and religion. I have aimed to look at their stories to investigate how the systems within which the youth exist operate, influencing their quotidian experiences. By putting them at the centre of their narratives, I have striven to understand how the youth navigate, negotiate, and, in return, agentially influence the systems and structures around them. An overarching conclusion points to how migration issues the youth into quotidian experiences of racism, exploitation, exploration, reaching and belonging, even as global citizens. Across this dissertation, I have argued the youth can not be conceptualized as passive recipients of migration processes, with different responses to their credit. And as such, owing to their organization as age and generation-based cohorts, the youth can position themselves as a...
