| Description: | This monograph presents an interdisciplinary approach that integrates sociology, Catholic Social Teaching (CST), philosophy, and environmental studies to offer a comprehensive analysis of the socio-environmental crisis. Its innovative application of Arts-Based Research (ABR) methods to CST topics enriches qualitative data and empowers participants, particularly those from vulnerable social groups. The central focus of the work is the redefinition of lifestyles, emphasizing the pivotal role of youth in climate activism and the care of the vulnerable, framed through the lens of integral ecology. Additionally, the inclusion of reflexivity as a research component enhances the depth of analysis and ensures transparency in interpreting findings. By providing an up-to-date perspective on how young people can address the crisis through the principles of integral ecology, the monograph offers valuable insights for scholars, professionals, and policymakers. Its combination of theoretical contributions, empirical rigor, and creative methodology positions it as a key text in discussions on sustainable development, social justice, and the role of youth in shaping future lifestyles. |
