Abstract
Young people across Europe
are suffering from multiple
crises. They are confronted
with a war in the Ukraine, a
climate crisis, and the COVID-19
pandemic. Next to these there
is an increasing social crisis. In
well-functioning democracies
crises are solved by dialogue
between different stakeholders,
but there is suggestion that the
trust that some parts of society
have in authorities is eroding.
Teachers are experiencing how
societal polarisation is becoming
prominent in the classroom and
often is fuelled by social media
used for spreading misinformation
and fake news
