How do MBO young people inform themselves about climate change and to what extent does this influence their attitude about climate change?

Objective

In this research we will find out how MBO young people inform themselves about climate change, what role the news media play in this and how they arrive at their attitude about climate change.

Results

We visualize…
- How MBO young people think about the climate.
- What influence family, friends and personal characteristics have on the formation of opinions about the climate
- How media (use) influences opinion formation about the climate.

Duration

01 September 2023 - 01 July 2024

Approach

We will talk to at least 20 MBO students from various courses in the Utrecht region. During the interview we want to look at the climate problem from their perspective and find out which factors play a role.
