So cool are they any publications from this work yet?

The children’s commission in NZ created this video in an attempt to share high level themes vimeo.com/969261773 have also seen one researcher write a play that some of her students performed in to share themes to the wider school community.

Totally! I think there is something interesting there around choice - young people choosing to be at youth organisations vs having to be at school. lots to learn from the youth work sector!

Such a valuable learning! So interested in the intersection of YPAR and positive youth development theory which not only acknowledges the need for relational approaches within participation work but celebrates it as strength of participatory methodologies

So important and when working with young people im really interested in creative ways that we can share this information that makes it accessible and understandable for different ages too.

It seems ridiculous but also such an obvious opportunity for schools to open up conversations for addressing issues that arise in toilets with students rather than taking such a punitive approach

I’m interested if people have experience working with schools and students to find solutions

Hi Louca thanks so much for this! Would I be able to be added to this please!

I’m interested in the roles young people and adults play within participation projects and am currently working on a paper that speaks to this.

Participation opens up a dialogue where young people’s views are considered within a decision making process and although power dynamics are acknowledged, adults views and understanding can also be taken into account. #youthparticipation

journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1... this is the paper. Send me a message if you can’t access and I can email a copy!

Some colleagues and I as a youth worker wrote a paper that spoke to this a little bit. It posed questions to think with for academic ethics panels that considered an ethics of care and relational approaches to research!

Exactly! It’s an important conversation to have and of course it would be an interesting study to involve young people in that conversation!

Ahh yes makes sense. it will definitely be helpful as a tool to encourage those who hadn’t bothered with either! I like the idea of searching for pre existing material on both sides! Thanks again for sharing

Thanks for this resource! I’ve been thinking a lot about consultation fatigue and a sentiment of “stop asking us the same questions” in some of my work. Really interested in some of the questions around utilising previous research/voices in decision making processes.

Such an important conversation and great to consider other ways of recognising/valuing co researchers when we think about the research happening in community settings with tight budgets.
