Differently, it is possible : youth councils Differently, it is possible : Young people and institutions was the topic of the first Festival of citizenship organised jointly by the youth councils and the Ministry of Youth and Sports in March 2000. The desire of an alternative was apparently at the origin of the implementation of a ministerial policy of dialogue with young people in January 1998.

The commitment of young RPR activists Today youth is more and more withdrawing from partisan organisations and from political conventional ways. The traditional political militancy appears therefore, for young people, essential in its character of exception. This is why this paper questions the different material and symbolic remunerations which stimulate a partisan commitment within the RPR. Those implicitly function as a socialising pattern for the construction of a real politician and thus for the reproduction of the body politic. The aim of this paper is to reveal, through the issue of activist trajectories, how a commitment claimed and declared in the name of the community interest adjusts and articulates with an individualistic prospect of politicking career.

Young maltese and politics This paper analyses young people's behaviours towards politics ; the young people's attitudes are determined by a plurality of processes of socialisation, initiated within the family, developed at school, specified within the political sphere and the framework of cultural activities. It is worth mentioning that the outcome of the elections is determined to a great extent by first-time voters and young adults.
