Participatory toolkit: participatory research with young people

Abstract

This toolkit provides a practical guide to conducting participatory research with young people. It attempts to demonstrate what can be achieved when facilitating a research space where young people are in the driver’s seat. The toolkit draws on the experience gained and lessons learnt throughout the Youth Social Action (YSA) Ecosystem research project. The YSA project was commissioned by the Greater London Authority (GLA) Civil Society and Sports ‘Youth team,’ and was conducted by researchers from the Centre for Applied Research for Empowering Society (CARES)0F with young Londoners as peer researchers
