Sažetak
The research study Creation and Care: Application of New Lifestyles and Interaction of Young People With Vulnerable Social Groups/Groups of People in Need is a part of the CREATE Laudato Si’ post-doc scholarship at the Faculty of Social Sciences (Angelicum). We based our research study on Pope Francis’ call in the Encyclical Letter Laudato Si’ and on the concept of integral ecology. The cognitive novelty of the social and environmental crisis can be the starting point of sociological research too. According to Goffman (1956), the actions of actors depend upon their relationships with others. Therefore, the interactionist approach can adequately serve as a theoretical basis for sociological research on integral ecology, since the relationship of the actor with others, as well as with the environment, is connected with his actions. The precondition for action is listening to social reality and to the state of the environment. The other sociological theory we used in this research is Beck’s (cosmopolitan) risk theory. The overall objective of the research was to analyze and describe new youth lifestyles and interactions with vulnerable groups/people in need, based on integral ecology. An innovative methodological approach was chosen, combining qualitative research methods (semi-structured interview) with arts-based research (ABR).
