Why youth?
• Young people are understood as crucial agents with regard to peace processes and political stability on a local and global scale (Tufte & Enghel, 2009)
• Nearly all young people (15-30 years) in Norway use Facebook or other kinds of social media. The majority do this daily (digital natives).

Online political activity: ”slactivism”
• Pointless showcasing that does more to make the activist feel good about themselves, than to address urgent political matters

Rubbish
• Some argue that political activity online tend to involve a destructive and nihilistic quality, which make it hard to take it seriously

Possibilities Challenges
Free, cheap and effective way to bring peoples voice out, to participate
“Slactivisme”
More debate/more people can debate Destructive/nihelistic, thus only some people would like debate
Fast mobilization /organizing groups
Low commitment over time
Bring new voices into the public sphere. Motivate new people to participate and get involved in political issues
The active people online are the same that are active offline (digital divide). Will not reach a mass audiences
Online activity Not offline activity ?
Internet activism (political activity online) Replacing traditional political activity (thereby leading to lower level of participation)
Easy to set up of Internet campaigns Does internet campaigns have any effect ?
Increase awareness of political issues Information overload
Diverse sources of information Echo chambers

Why? • SNS-not a space for political action: Social networking sites are still
mostly a socializing activity, friends and family members. They might not want to mix friends with political action. (e.g. Storsul, et al., 2008)
• Too new (short period of time): Social networking sites are quite new, and it’s hard to identify a significant effect over such a short period of time
• Dissatisfied: Norwegian youth are in Europe the most eager users of Internet, but also the those that shows most dissatisfaction with the online services (Livingstone, et al., 2011)
• Broad engagement: Not all are conscious about actions that they to are political actions
However, we might see a change after 22.07?
