This article aims at describing the reality where young Poles live and grow up, as well as their ways of coping with the challenges coming from both modern times and the changes in their own home country, Europe and the whole world. Generally speaking, we reflect upon the ways of leading the youth through adulthood. One opportunity is represented by the meetings organised by youth pastoral centres, managed by female and male congregations, as well as by Institutes of consecrated life. In this article, the results of the research carried out in 13 youth pastoral centres in the year 2007/2008 are presented. Just the variable related to the search for the meaning of life is dealt with in more detail, as soon as the very first existential questions arise, such as “Who am I?”, “Why am I living?”, “What is the sense of the things I do?”, “Where is my place in the world?” It is necessary to lead young people through this complex process of growing up, providing support, backing and presence. On the other hand, the following question arises: “to what extent can we intervene in the person’s development and in the shaping of their personality through contents and values, influencing their way of perceiving the world and themselves?” The analysis of this research can serve as a starting point in order to reflect on what is to be elaborated in detail, what is to be changed, what is to be highlighted, so that the meetings with the youth be more productive and the suggestions become a reference in the search for better solutions.

Many young men and women are often confused when it comes to choosing their vocations and careers. According to Pope John Paul II in PastoresDaboVobis, “Each Christian vocation comes from God and is God’s gift. However, it is never bestowed outside of or independently of the Church. Instead it always comes about in the Church and through the Church a luminous and living reflection of the mystery of the Blessed Trinity.” What churches are doing with youth is commendable. Pope John Paul II earned the confidence of young people because he took them seriously. They sensed that he understood their concerns. He challenged them to give their lives to Christ. He appealed to their high ideals, inviting them to take a lead in the New Evangelization. Amidst the contemporary challenges facing young people, it would be appropriate to find ways of helping youth discern God’s call in their daily struggles. This implies learning to discern God’s voice hidden in the chaos of other worldly voices. The worldly allurements seem to have a great impact amongst youth. They therefore require some guidance from their parents and spiritual leaders in order for them to make the right decisions. This article looks at how Pope John Paul II treated the issue of vocational discernment among young people.

Critical thinking, media literacy (MIL) and digital and creative competencies are essential for young people to thrive. School can play a fundamental role in raising awareness towards conscientious and creative media usage, particularly considering today’s adolescents – Gen Z. This is not only the generation most exposed to online contents, but also the one that makes the most use of mobile media to connect, learn, express and actively engage in causes. This research conducted media production activities based on secondary school curricula to explore and promote discussions about citizenship and MIL topics. Digital narratives (DNs) creation activities were co-designed with teachers of various subjects and carried out in two Portuguese schools, involving about 190 students aged between 15 and 18. The results of the exploratory questionnaire to students and the DNs’ content analysis point out that the creation of DNs acts as a lever to promote discussions about citizenship in formal settings and that, despite difficulties related to tools and basic literacies, students appreciate activities that engage them in critical reflection and transformative learning. However, the findings suggest that young people don’t believe that using these languages contributes to making a change or to their voices being heard by adults and institutions.

The paper provides detailed reflections on the educational, economic and social circumstances that impact on the lives of many disadvantaged and vulnerable children and young people. Drawing largely on primary research data collected in Romania, Germany and the United Kingdom, three illustrative case studies are presented for consideration focusing on: life in residential care and youth offending institutions; experiences of educational vulnerability; and human trafficking. The methodological approach adopted across the research projects explored, was shaped by the demands and expectations of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). All of the reported data reflects the views of children and young people who were interviewed as part of three research projects. It is argued that the difficult and challenging circumstances that many children and young people find themselves in, place them at significant disadvantage and increased vulnerability in terms of their social and educational development and life chances.

Normalisation of Precariousness? Biographical Experiences of Young Workers in the Flexible Forms of Employment in Poland

This article explores interpretive practices and life strategies related to the flexibilisation of employment in Poland. The socio-economic background for workers’ biographical experiences and coping patterns can be defined in terms of a shift from the socialist type of Fordism to the capitalist, neoliberal, flexible labour regime. In 2015, Poland remained the leader in the EU in terms of the share of employees with temporary contracts in total employment. Yet, despite the expansion of precarious employment, the Polish workers were, until recently, not too prone to protest. This paper explains this apparent paradox by analysing the meanings given to the changing nature of employment by workers themselves in the context of their overall biographical experiences. The empirical basis are 24 biographical narrative interviews collected within a mini-research project on non-unionised young (18-29) workers in services in the city of Wrocław, in South-Western Poland (in 2013). The analysis documents some level of “normalisation” of unstable employment among young precarious employees for whom it became an important aspect of their “taken-for-granted” assumptions related to their occupational careers. Simultaneously, the research demonstrates the biographical and social limits of “normalisation of precariousness” and suggests that the “disenchantment” with flexibility can (in some cases) contribute to greater support for various collective counter-movements (Karl Polanyi). In the article, both the normalisation and disenchantment with market flexibility are discussed with the reference to selected biographical cases.

W niniejszym artykule analizie poddano praktyki interpretacyjne i strategie życiowe związane z uelastycznianiem zatrudnienia w Polsce. Społeczno-ekonomiczny kontekst pracowniczych doświadczeń biograficznych i wzorów radzenia sobie w życiu zdefiniowany być może jako przejście od socjalistycznej odmiany fordyzmu do kapitalistycznego, neoliberalnego, elastycznego reżimu pracy. W 2015 roku Polska była liderem w Unii Europejskiej pod względem udziału pracowników z umowami czasowymi w ogóle zatrudnionych. Jednak pomimo ekspansji prekaryjnego zatrudnienia, polscy pracownicy byli do niedawna niezbyt skłonni do protestów. Niniejszy artykuł wyjaśnia ten pozorny paradoks poprzez analizę znaczeń nadawanych zmieniającemu się charakterowi zatrudnienia przez samych pracowników, w kontekście ich całościowych doświadczeń biograficznych. Jego empiryczną podstawą są 24 biograficzne wywiady narracyjne zebrane w ramach niewielkiego projektu badawczego nad młodymi (18‒29), nieuzwiązkowionymi pracownikami usług we Wrocławiu (w 2013 r.). Analiza pozwoliła na udokumentowanie zjawiska „normalizacji” niestabilnego zatrudnienia wśród młodych, sprekaryzowanych pracowników, dla których stało się ono istotnym aspektem uznawanych za oczywiste założeń odnośnie ich karier zawodowych. Badanie ujawniło zarazem biograficzne i społeczne ograniczenia „normalizacji prekaryjności” i pozwoliło stwierdzić, że „odczarowanie” elastyczności może (w niektórych przypadkach) przyczyniać się do silniejszego wsparcia dla różnych zbiorowych kontrruchów (Karl Polanyi). W artykule przedyskutowano zarówno normalizację, jak i odczarowanie elastyczności rynkowej w odniesieniu do wybranych przypadków biograficznych.
