The Urban Rotterdam project
How do young people successfully grow up in an increasingly complex society?
Erasmus SYNC Lab presents: the Urban Rotterdam Project
Today’s society is more complex than ever, due to intense globalization and advanced digital technology. How do adolescents and young adults deal with these societal changes, as well as the consequences of multiple crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the climate crisis?
The Urban Rotterdam Project is an online longitudinal behavioral survey study including adolescents and young adults aged 10 – 25 years living in Rotterdam and surrounding areas with varying socio-economic backgrounds.
This study enables us to understand how the social environment in which one grows up (such as their home environment) interacts with individual characteristics on developmental outcomes such as (mental) well-being, prosocial actions, broader contributing to society, and feeling empowered.
