The publication we are handing over to the Readers is a collection of theoretical and research analyses concerning the functioning of contemporary youth in a dynamically changing socio-cultural reality. The articles included in the volume are focused on two problem areas: youth in relation to the changes of the modern world and youth in the context of selected educational issues. The topics discussed in the first part of the monograph focus on phenomena and processes that determine the fate of (not only) young people today, set trends and directions of aspirations. These include the SARS- CoV-02 virus pandemie, multiculturalism, globalisation, and escape into the virtual world. In light of the specifics of the above circumstances, the authors of the articles reflect on the contemporary generation of youth based on change. The second part of the publication concerns issues related to young people functioning in the educational system or issues related to upbringing connected with the adolescence period. What stands out significantly in the texts is the need to design new educational and upbringing Solutions for young people in relation to the changes in the contemporary world.
