This book presents findings from a collaborative research project involving institutions in Chile, Colombia, and Mexico, providing insight into post-pandemic shifts in youth civic participation. It integrates comparative analyses with theoretical discussions on citizenship education, focusing on key variables such as socio-emotional development, community belonging, and active participation. Some chapters focus on real-world data, offering fresh perspectives on student involvement, while others provide a broader academic framework for understanding citizenship in higher education. By bridging practical research with academic discourse, this book serves as both a theoretical reference and a practical resource for educators and policymakers. Offering a nuanced understanding of the evolving nature of citizenship education, it contributes to ongoing discussions on preparing future generations for civic responsibility in an interconnected world.
