Publication Type: Paper (prepared oral presentation) Abstract: Nowadays young people feel an enormous apathy and an increasing distrust on politics and political issues. Besides capitalism and individualism of contemporary societies seems to contribute to decreasing levels of participation in the civil society, particularly between young people. However research has shown that civic participation is crucial to uphold the consolidation of democracies and to promote civic engagement in adulthood, since youngster’s civic experiences are pointed out as their strongest predictor. Moreover, several studies have been showing that a lot can be done in the educational contexts where young people spend a significant part of their daily lives, namely in local communities where they feel as members. Youth associations have a relevant role in terms of the promotion of political development of adolescents, mainly in terms of attitudes and behaviors, but very little longitudinal research has studied the quality of participation experiences on political development. Using a cohort-sequential longitudinal method, our study involves 616 students from four moments of data collection with three overlapping cohorts (4x3). The present study intends to shed light on the exploration of the quality’s evolution quality along and across time, identifying in which associations young people are involved. Therefore we will analyse the personal meaningful that participation in youth associations has to participants and the impact of those experiences in behavioural and attitudinal dimensions of young people political development will also be achieved. Findings show that voluntary associations and scouts are the most common activity between adolescents. Additionally, the personal meaning associated to their experiences by the ones that have high quality of participation experiences is, in a larger scale, the personal growth. Quality of juvenile participation appears as a very significant predictor on the youngster’s dispositions to be politically active in the future, as adult. The implication of these results for the design of intervention projects in this domain will be discussed. Results seem to reinforce the role of adolescents’ life contexts and of quality of experiences in the promotion of the political development.
