This study connects FFF with discourses around the rights of children and young people, aiming to place young people's views at the centre of the research and shed light on this as-yet widely unresearched topic. Through qualitative research with young people involved in FFF, the study broaches topics such as intergenerational justice, civil disobedience and political participation rights. The results highlight the necessity of collective responsibility for the future of FFF, along with participants' wishes to be more included in the political debate.
