- Os Impactos Sociais da Pandemia: o Segundo ConfinamentoPublication . Gouveia, Rita; Serra-Silva, Sofia; Almeida, Ana Nunes de; Wall, Karin; Vieira, Maria Manuel; Carvalho, Diana; Ribeiro Santos, Ana SofiaEste relatório centra-se nos principais resultados do inquérito online “Os impactos sociais da pandemia - o segundo confinamento”, coordenado por uma equipa de investigadoras do Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa (ICS-ULisboa), que decorreu entre os dias 11 a 25 de Fevereiro de 2021, ou seja, durante o 11º estado de emergência nacional. À data da recolha dos dados, o cenário epidemiológico em Portugal era grave, com um número médio de novas infeções diárias a rondar os 1800 casos e contabilizando um número de 100 óbitos diários. A amostra obtida é uma amostra “bola de neve” ou “guiada pelo respondente”, tendo sido recolhidas 7873 respostas de inquiridos a residir em Portugal, com 16 ou mais anos de idade. Ao longo deste relatório focamo-nos na análise diferenciada dos impactos da pandemia nas diversas esferas da vida, nos diferentes grupos sociais e nas experiências vividas dos indivíduos e das famílias em cenário de confinamento. Para tal, centramo-nos em cinco questões: • Em que medida o confinamento de 2021 foi mais fácil, igual ou mais difícil do que o confinamento de 2020? • Quais os impactos da pandemia na vida profissional dos indivíduos? • Como é que os jovens viveram os seus quotidianos estudantis durante o confinamento e quais as suas maiores preocupações face ao futuro? • Como é que foi vivida a doença por aqueles que estiveram infetados com COVID-19 e que sequelas deixou tal experiência? • Quais os níveis de confiança nas instituições e decisores políticos e a quem é atribuída uma maior responsabilidade pela situação epidemiológica do país?

- Exploring the Acceptability of an Environmental Education Program for Youth in Rural Areas: ECOCIDADANIA ProjectPublication . Silva, Isabel S.; Cunha-Saraiva, Filipa; Ribeiro, Ana Sofia; Bártolo, AnaBackground: There has been a growing interest in environmental education programs to improve environmental awareness and behavior change among school-aged youth. Yet, assessment of the approaches aligned with citizen science principles emphasizing community participation and empowerment is scarce. The present study aimed to explore the acceptability of the “ECOCIDADANIA” environmental education program targeted at youth in rural areas. Methods: The program was applied for two years in the municipality of Gouveia, and it involved nature walks methodologies combined with citizen science. A total of 107 students participated in the program. Eighteen participants (13 youth and 5 teachers) were selected as key informants, and semistructured interviews were conducted to assess the appropriateness of the intervention and the perceived benefits. Results: The program was demonstrated to be acceptable to youth and teachers, and its benefits included increasing students’ knowledge, skills and self-efficacy, discovering the territory, promoting environmental awareness, strengthening social relationships between peers and educators, and contributing to the promotion of individual and collective well-being. All the participants were satisfied with the program’s activities and recommend its continuation in the school context. Conclusions: Programs of this nature could foster environmental activism and enhance environmental sustainability at the local level, which reinforces the entrepreneurship profile of the youth.
- Drawing on fire: children’s knowledge and needs after a wildfire disaster in PortugalPublication . Ribeiro, Sofia; Silva, IsabelThere is growing international concern about the impact of natural hazards and disasters on children and young people. However, very little research has explored children’s views of their wildfire experiences. Using creative methods with two groups of primary school children from an inland area, this qualitative study examines Portuguese children’s experiences of a wildfire disaster that affected their community in 2017. An inductive qualitative approach was used to explore the children’s interpretations of this particular event. The children reported high levels of exposure to the wildfire, either directly (in confronting the actual fire) or indirectly (by observing its impact on nature and their community). The implications of these findings are considered in relation to children’s roles in wildfire risk reduction and response.
- Children, citizenship and crisis: towards a participatory agendaPublication . Almeida, Ana Nunes de; Ribeiro, Ana Sofia; Rowland, JussaraChildren’s citizenship has become a major theme in contemporary social policy and science debates, and children’s rights have gradually emerged as benchmarks for many national, regional or local policy narratives, consistent with the un Convention on the Rights of the Child (un 1989). Indeed, the uncrc concept of citizenship encompasses, for the first time, participation, provision but also participation rights. The attention has focused not only on children’s “superior interest” but also on their agency capacities and their participatory rights, considering them active and competent actors in social relationships, who have a voice, irrespective of those of adults. Crises, caused by disasters, economic and social adversities are moments of disruption where the pre-existing unequal social ties between individuals or groups in society become more visible, evidencing different access to citizenship status. Children have very often been portrayed as passive and helpless victims or as vulnerable recipients of aid in crisis situations, with little attention given to their ability to perceive and interpret these phenomena, or what they can contribute to public policies that address these issues.
- Acesso, apoios e custos no ensino superiorPublication . Ribeiro, Ana Sofia; Vieira, Maria ManuelO documento apresenta uma análise sobre o ensino superior em Portugal, nomeadamente sobre as condições de acesso e diversidade da população estudantil, o sistema de apoios públicos à educação e os custos com propinas, manutenção e materiais. “O acesso ao ensino superior português estará a atravessar, sobretudo desde 2011, uma fase de racionalização forçada devido, por um lado, à contração económica do país, que reduziu o investimento em educação, mas também, por outro, à forte convicção de que é possível ‘obter mais com menos em educação’ privilegiando a eficiência e delineando objetivos estratégicos.”
- Lockdown practices: a portrait of young people in the family during the first lockdown in PortugalPublication . Vieira, Maria Manuel; Almeida, Ana Nunes de; Ribeiro Santos, Ana SofiaGovernments introduced protective public health measures, including lockdowns and social distancing, in response to the unprecedented global crisis brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. For young people, such measures are particularly painful, as they entail an interruption of their transitions to adulthood, which generally require taking up their position in the public space and emerging as a recognised social peer, either through leaving the parental home, initiating an intimate relationship or getting a full-time job. In Portugal, where such transitions are often postponed, and young people cohabit with parents for much longer, lockdown meant withdrawal from the public space and living in an intensive family collective. This brought many challenges and created tension. Based on the results of a non-representative online survey on the impacts of the pandemic in Portugal, this article focuses how young people aged 16–24 adapted to the 2020 lockdown, using the conceptual lens of familialism. The results show that familialism remains a key support system in adversity, evidencing intergenerational solidarity through everyday practices of resilience and (self-) care, renewing and remaking social bonds. Individual distancing practices are deployed backstage, however, mitigating and nuancing the overwhelming hold of familialism.
- Activating aspirations: fostering creative and soft skills for rural NEETS in central PortugalPublication . Ribeiro Santos, Ana Sofia; Roque, Isabel; Sousa, João CarlosThis article focuses on young people not in employment or education in rural areas of Portugal. It highlights the specific vulnerability of this group, and its conceptual focus is underpinned by the debate between the capabilities approach and structural ramifications in the labour market. It presents a case study analysis based on an employability and social inclusion programme for young people in Central Portugal. The data analysis comprises documentary analysis, interviews with PES services and case workers, and 13 semistructured interviews with young people. The discussion, which covers the views of programme participants’ and stakeholders, deconstructs generalisations about the labour market and employment prospects for higher education graduates, taking the capabilities for education, work, voice and aspirations as analytical points. We argue that rural young people’s employability may be enhanced by nonformal training that stimulates entrepreneurial and soft skills, and that service delivery should take mobility into account when planning interventions in rural areas.
