The purpose of this study is to discuss the use of social media by the Swedish Police for democratic purposes. The idea of citizen empowerment is closely related to the development of new communication technologies such as social media.

Syftet med vårt arbete är att undersöka hur en grupp gymnasielever resonerar kring sambandet mellan konsumtion och hållbar utveckling. Vi undrar även hur eleverna ser på skolans roll i lärande för hållbar utveckling. Arbetet är baserat på två kvalitativa fokusgruppsintervjuer med gymnasieelever från två olika program och skolor. Fyra omvårdnadselever på den ena skolan deltog i en fokusgruppsintervju medan de övriga fyra eleverna, som gick i samhällsprogrammet på en annan skola, deltog i den andra fokusgruppsintervjun. Resultatet visade att de flesta eleverna förstår hur konsumtion kan påverka omvärlden och att de även känner att de kan påverka genom medvetna konsumtionsval. I det här sammanhanget lyfter eleverna fram empatiskt förhållningssätt som nyckeln till att skapa engagemang. Eleverna upplever att de lever i två kunskapsvärldar, en i skolan och en utanför skolan.
