Democratic citizenship education in a Canadian youth city council: the case of the Commission Jeunesse Gatineau (CJG)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In North America, an increasing number of youth city councils have been created since the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) was ratified in 1989. These councils facilitate and encourage youth participation within cities. This paper presents the case study of the Commission Jeunesse Gatineau (CJG), the oldest city youth council in the French-speaking province of Québec, whose members are aged 13 to 17. This youth council presents itself as a school of citizenship education. The data show that this initiative recognizes youth’s agency and political citizenship through a diversity of democratic citizenship approaches: (1) liberal, (2) deliberative, (3) participative, and (4) critical. Above all, we demonstrate how youth socialize through contentious politics. The data show that the CJG is an environment for young people to broaden their repertoire of actions and knowledge related to social issues while developing their critical-thinking skills and political actions.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
