  8. Noemi Katznelson, nka@dpu.dk General expectations to oneself • I should be happy • I should have fun • I should have an exciting sex life • I should have many friends • I should be good looking • I should have the right education and work • I should be able to by all sorts of things

  9. Noemi Katznelson, nka@dpu.dk More general tendencies • Increasing sense of risk • Increasing sense of individualisation • Expanding AND reduced youth phase

  10. Noemi Katznelson, nka@dpu.dk What can the educator do? • Balance between including very different groups of youngsters and sustain functioning educations • Balance between a variety of possibilities and sense of community and clarity • Focus on the individual without individualising

  11. Noemi Katznelson, nka@dpu.dk What will happen? 3 scenarios • The hardliner way - zero tolerance and sanctions • The pragmatic way - lowering the level of education in order to meet all groups of young (or finding new ways to count to 95 %) • The idealistic way - expanding the educational opportunities
