It accounts for the results of a qualitative research carried out with(in) the Roman group of the movement, adopting a solidarity-based epistemic stance that invites reflections both on activism and research practices. Drawing upon social representations theory, the authors analyze how the "Fridays" perceive climate change: as a socio-ecological crisis that comes from afar and has repercussions on the future, as something that affects everything and everyone; but also, as a generational problem whose environmental, social, and economic costs will be paid mainly by young people. On the other hand, guided by the literature on digital activism, the authors explore the way in which the activists inhabit social media: as constitutive environments of activism, where political and media practices define each other; but also, as environments that belong to young people and are characterized by age-specific communication styles. The two experiences related to climate change and the political usages of social media influence each other, giving rise to an unprecedented youth movement for the climate that can tell us about the transformations currently undergoing digital, environmental, and youth activism. 517 $aFridaysForFuture 606 $aPolitical activists 615 0$aPolitical activists. 676 $a322.4 700 $aBelotti$b Francesca$0759376 702 $aBussoletti$b Arianna 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910597129603321 996 $aFridaysForFuture$93016613 997 $aUNINA
