Furthermore, the study finds that openness to intergenerational dialogue, the relationship between faith and politics, and exemplary conduct in civil discourse are important factors in fostering sustainable political participation among Generation Z. This article contributes to enriching the study of youth politics by emphasizing the importance of dialogical and ethical approaches in modern democracy.
