| Sažetak | Prema mnogim autorima, pojam mladih sve se češće spominje u suvremeno doba, a mladost predstavlja period u životu pojedinca između djetinjstva i zrelosti. S obzirom da se u mladosti osobe suočavaju s mnogo problema zbog velikih očekivanja okoline koje mladi ne mogu ispuniti radi ekonomskih i socijalnih razlika, dolazi do pojačane potrebe razvitka koncepta rada s mladima. U Republici Hrvatskoj rad s mladima još nije potpuno koncipiran, još ni jedna struka nije posvetila svoj rad proučavanju rada s mladima te postoji određeno neslaganje prilikom prevođenja termina rada s mladima. U fokusu rada s mladima jest mladim ljudima ponuditi platformu za njihovo ostvarivanje te usvajanje kompetencija da postanu produktivni članovi svoje zajednice. S obzirom da rad s mladima još nije potpuno zaživio u Hrvatskoj, vrlo je važno imati uvid koliko su doista mladi angažirani unutar svoje zajednice. Stoga, fokus ovoga rada jest na civilnom angažmanu mladih unutar lokalnih zajednica. Postoji
mnogo definicija civilnog angažmana, ono što civilni angažman obuhvaća razlikuje se od autora do autora te od države do države, no svi se slažu kako civilni angažman kao koncept poziva na djelovanje te od njega koristi ima cjelokupno društvo kao i pojedinac (stjecanjem iskustava, razvijanjem vještina i kompetencija, osjećaja empatije, solidarnosti te potrebu za promjenom).
Zbog raznih definicija civilnog angažmana, prethodnih istraživanja civilnog angažmana kakav se u ovom radu istraživao nema mnogo, no ima mnogo istraživanja koja su se bavila određenim dijelovima onoga što civilni angažman predstavlja u ovom radu. Pretraživanjem literature, uočeno je kako ne postoji ni mnogo istraživanja civilnog angažmana na otocima RH, stoga,
sukladno navedenom, cilj ovog istraživanja bio je steći uvid u civilni angažman mladih otoka Krka u svojoj lokalnoj zajednici, s naglaskom na njihove potrebe, interese i perspektive. U istraživanju sudjelovalo je 77 ispitanika, u dobi između 18 i 30 godina, s
prebivalištem/boravištem na otoku Krku te je istraživanje provedeno u 2021. godini. Rezultati istraživanja prikazuju kako je u prosjeku jako mali broj mladih osoba s otoka Krka civilno angažiran, iskazuju potrebu za većom uključenošću unutar svoje zajednice, kao i za većom ponudom sadržaja/aktivnosti/prostora za mlade. |
| Sažetak (engleski) | According to many authors, the concept of youth is mentioned more often in modern times, while youth represents the period in an individual's life between childhood and maturity. Given that people face many problems in their youth due to the high expectations of the society that young people cannot fulfill due to economic and social differences, there is an increased need to develop the concept of youth work. In the Republic of Croatia, youth work has not yet been fully conceptualized, not a single profession has yet dedicated its work to the study of youth work, and there is some disagreement when translating the term youth work. The focus of youth work is to offer young people a platform for their realization and the acquisition of competencies to become productive members of their community. Given that youth work has not yet fully taken root in Croatia, it is very important to have an insight into how engaged young people really are within their community. Therefore, the focus of this work is on the civic engagement of young people within local communities. There are many definitions of civic engagement, what civic engagement includes differs from author to author and from
country to country, but everyone agrees that civic engagement as a concept calls for action and benefits the entire society as well as the individual (by gaining experience, developing skills and competences, feelings of empathy, solidarity and the need for change). Due to the various definitions of civic engagement, there are not many previous studies of civic engagement as investigated in this paper, but there are many studies that have dealt with certain parts of civic
engagement represented in this paper. Searching the literature, it was observed that there is not much research on civic engagement on the islands of the Republic of Croatia, therefore, in accordance with the above, the goal of this research was to gain insight into the civic engagement of young people on the island of Krk in their local community, with an emphasis on their needs, interests and perspectives. 77 respondents, between the ages of 18 and 30, residing on the island of Krk participated in the research, and the research was conducted in 2021. The research results show that, on average, a very small number of young people from the island of Krk are civically engaged, expressing the need for greater involvement within their community, as well as for a greater offer of content/activities/spaces for young people. |
