PARTICIPATION OF THE YOUNG GENERATION IN CULTURE

Nowadays, participation in culture is not only about the consumption of provided cultural content but also involves the creation of content. It plays an important role in human life, especially for young people, due to its impact on their well-being. This paper aims to identify forms of participation in young people’s culture. For this purpose, an analysis of the literature on the subject is performed, and a survey of students is conducted. The results of this research showed that respondents are primarily interested in activities that allow them to spend time with their peers, while participation in culture using the mass media, as well as in “high culture,” is not of particular interest to them. Respondents claim that they commonly use modern technological solutions, but the Internet cannot replace personal participation in cultural events.
