Youth movement

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A youth movement is any attempt to organize individual young people into a unified identity. According to The Freechild Project, "A growing number of organizations and individuals are calling for a worldwide youth movement, built around information technology, political and social action, and other platforms." There are a seemingly infinite number of youth movements, both historical and contemporary in nature.
