description This essay attempts to address how the Parkland youth protesters are rewriting the nature of resistance as both an individual and collective effort by creating a new vision of hope and mass struggle. Central to their efforts is an attempt to make education central to politics itself and in doing so they have redefined education as a way of translating personal issues into larger systemic concerns, changing the way people see things, and investing a variety of modes of communication in order to use elements of belief and persuasion as appropriate weapons of struggle. Using new digital technologies and media, these young people are redefining the landscapes of pedagogy and resistance. This paper explores their efforts as a new way to connect politics and education.

Este ensayo aborda cómo los jóvenes manifestantes de Parkland están reescribiendo la resistencia como un esfuerzo individual y colectivo, creando una nueva visión de esperanza y lucha de masas. En el centro de sus esfuerzos está el intento de hacer la educación como algo central para la propia política. Al hacerlo, buscan redefinir la educación como una forma de traducir cuestiones personales en preocupaciones sistémicas mayores, cambiando la forma en que las personas ven las cosas e invirtiendo en diversos modos de comunicación, para usar elementos de creencia y persuasión como armas apropiadas de lucha. Por las nuevas tecnologías digitales y medios, estos jóvenes están redefiniendo los paisajes de la pedagogía y la resistencia. Este artículo explora sus esfuerzos como una nueva manera de conectar política y educación. Este ensaio aborda como os jovens manifestantes de Parkland estão reescrevendo a resistência como um esforço individual e coletivo, criando uma nova visão de esperança e luta de massas. No centro de seus esforços está a tentativa de tornar a educação como algo central para a própria política. Ao fazê-lo, buscam redefinir a educação como uma forma de traduzir questões pessoais em preocupações sistêmicas maiores, mudando a forma como as pessoas veem as coisas e investindo em diversos modos de comunicação, de modo a usar elementos de crença e persuasão como armas apropriadas de luta. Pelas novas tecnologias digitais e mídia, esses jovens estão redefinindo as paisagens da pedagogia e da resistência.
