The youth of Metsovo

The youth of Metsovo

The current study deals with the life of young people in the mountainous regions of Greece, especially in the area of Metsovo. The future of this area depends heavily on the doings of the young people of the area. Goals included in this study are the investigation of the relationship of the young generation with the local physical and social environment. Also, it aims in revealing the aspiration of the young generations of this area, as well as disclosing the forces that affect the scattering of young people. The study was performed by employing codified questionnaires addressed to students of the local Lyceum (high school). Statistical evaluation of the data was performed by using the SPSS software. The results show that the young generation feels a deep affection for the local traditions. However, it seems that a critical core of goals of the young people, in combination with the mass modernized way of life put young people before the dilemma: to leave their home in order to gain education, accomplice a professional carrier, and experience a broader entertainment, or to remain at home continuing the traditional way of life. It seems, therefore necessary that local society recognize the problems and desires of the young generations. In this way the above mentioned dilemma could be resolved in favor of both the young people as well as the local society.
