student movement
Youth-led political organizing
A student movement is an organized effort by students to bring about political or social change, typically through protests, demonstrations, sit-ins, or other forms of collective action.
Such movements often emerge from universities and may address issues ranging from educational policy to broader political causes.
The student movement of the 1960s helped shape civil rights and anti-war activism.
Student movements have historically served as catalysts for larger social upheavals, channeling youthful idealism into political pressure.
