“…However, the extent to which the various voices were heeded depended on the resources that the organizations controlled -or the sympathy that they were able to mobilize among the general public (Tranvik and Selle, 2007). In the last decade, several new organizations and networks have been established for the purpose of mobilizing immigrants and their descendants (Eimhjellen et al, 2018;Ødegård et al, 2014). Local and national initiatives have been developed to help these networks formalize their structures in line with the classical Scandinavian model of voluntary organizations, to expand the opportunities for participation in local and national political processes and to receive government funding (Takle, 2015;Takle and Ødegård, 2017).…”

“…Lacking childhood experiences from the host country, many immigrant parents will have a disadvantage, will be less familiar with the political system and organizational landscape and, therefore, less likely to pass on behaviours that encourage political and associational participation (Eimhjellen et al, 2018; Voicu, 2014; Ødegård et al, 2014). In addition, the lack of strong and significant social networks among immigrants has been deemed a substantial barrier to involvement in secular volunteering (Qvist, 2018).…”

“…Historically, Norway has experienced high levels of participation in voluntary organizations (Eimhjellen et al, 2018). This has been linked to a specific ‘Scandinavian’ hierarchical institutional model of participation, whereby the local association, a self-governed, membership-based democratic entity, is the locus of activity (Enjolras and Strømsnes, 2018).…”

The aim of this paper is to examine the link between associational involvement and political participation among youth in Norway and how this link varies between boys and girls of an immigrant or non-immigrant background. We examine the relationship between activities in instrumental and expressive types of voluntary organizations. The paper draws on the survey Ung i Oslo 2015 (Young in Oslo 2015), which was carried out among students in almost all high schools (30 schools) in Oslo, Norway. The results indicate that those who are actively involved in socially oriented organizations are most likely to participate in politics. However, the relationship between organizational activity and political participation is often stronger among youth of immigrant background and is visible even among those who are active in less socially oriented organizations. Most notably, the results suggest that being active in a sports organization is positively related to political participation among immigrant youth. We found no such effect among non-immigrant youth. In accordance with Robert Putnam’s theoretical framework on social capital, the paper discusses why youth of immigrant background seem to benefit more, politically speaking, from associational involvement.

“…Медиа и коммуникации во время пандемии COVID-19. Приглашенный редактор С. Г. Давыдов И. В. Мерсиянова, А. С. Брюхно ЦИФРОВИЗАЦИЯ Предпосылки развития волонтерских платформ Многие исследователи во всем мире в последние десятилетия отмечают транс формацию организованной волонтерской деятельности, выделяя такие моменты, как рост эпизодического волонтерства [Anheier, Salamon, 1999;Dekker, Halman, 2003;Hustinx, 2010;Eimhjellen et al, 2018], расширение спектра волонтерских активностей [Wilson et al, 2001;Hustinx, Lammertyn, 2003], возникновение но вых подходов к рекрутингу волонтеров [Anheier, Salamon, 1999;Rochester et al, 2011;Heley, Yarker, Jones, 2019]. Значительную роль в этих изменениях играют появление и активное развитие цифровых практик коммуникации с волонтерами: 1) использование некоммерческими организациями вебсайтов [Yeon, Choi, Kiousis, 2007;Slattery, Finnegan, Vidgen, 2019] и социальных медиа [Hovey, 2010;Briones et al, 2011;RajaYusof et al, 2016] для рекрутинга и поддержания отно шений с волонтерами;…”

В статье рассматривается потенциал использования цифровых волонтерских платформ в России на основе данных количественного и качественного исследований, проведенных в период самоизоляции в связи с распространением новой коронавирусной инфекции (апрель — май 2020 г.) Центром исследований гражданского общества и некоммерческого сектора НИУ «Высшая школа экономики» в рамах проекта «Самоорганизация и взаимопомощь в условиях противодействия распространению коронавирусной инфекции». На основе данных всероссийского опроса населения (N = 2012) выявлено, что уровень готовности зарегистрироваться на специализированном сайте, позволяющем добровольцам узнавать о том, где и когда они могли бы оказать помощь нуждающимся, подобрать себе подходящую волонтерскую работу, достаточно высок. Ключевыми факторами, влияющими на готовность к использованию подобных сайтов, являются половозрастные параметры, уровень образования, род занятий, а также вовлеченность в добровольческую деятельность. Результаты онлайн-фокус-групп (с обычными гражданами и с волонтерами) также демонстрируют востребованность волонтерских онлайн-платформ. Определены основные желаемые характеристики сайта-агрегатора, такие как возможность выбирать из большого числа разнообразных волонтерских активностей, доступность, безопасность и прозрачность. Благодарность. Исследование выполнено при поддержке Программы фундаментальных исследований НИУ «Высшая школа экономики».

“…Organized leisure activities for children have gained increased importance as a way of arranging children’s daily life in the western world since the 1970s and are labeled as a hallmark of middle-class behavior (Lareau, 2006; Vincent and Ball, 2007). A survey shows that having children has become a more important factor for volunteering during recent decades in Norway (Eimhjellen et al., 2018: 46). Also, the difference in voluntary participation between education groups is decreasing.…”

Dealing with diversity, hoping for inclusion. Parents’ involvement in urban schools in Norway

This paper investigates parents' involvement in multi-ethnic and class-differentiated urban public schools in Bergen, Norway. It examines how some parents deal with diversity and social inequality in a socially mixed urban area in Norway and Europe today. With the help of the concept of conviviality-the capacity to live together peacefully while negotiating tensions-we focus on the hope of inclusion when people are sharing a place that is important to them in everyday life. Existing research shows how parents engaged in schools are concerned with ensuring the academic success of the school thereby reproducing classed privileges. We find that parents engaged in public bodies in schools act on hopes of social inclusion of the diversity of children and their parents more than they pursue academic success. We argue that, rather than aiming at reproducing classed privileges, some parents aim for a politics of inclusion, leveling out social differences. Using the concept of conviviality, we explore how this has, simultaneously, both inclusionary and exclusionary consequences.
