Researcher Daniela Ferreira da Silva was the guest on episode number 40 of the podcast Compor Mundos – “Future Networks: Youth Reimagining Climate and Politics”.
Youth climate activism has been shaping new ways of thinking about and doing politics. These groups, led by young Portuguese activists, are building political imaginaries that challenge dominant narratives, mobilize digital networks to act and communicate, and negotiate their media representations within a transforming public sphere. In this episode, we analyze and reflect on how youth activism is reshaping the relationship between communication, politics, and ecology, focusing on new dynamics of mobilization and the symbolic disputes that cut across the media and digital landscape.
The episode was recorded in Portuguese, published on February 19, 2026, and can be accessed here.
