Youth, Diversity and Wellbeing in a Digital Age
We investigate the key issues facing diverse young people and their communities, their civic and political uses of the internet and digital media, and young people’s role as change leaders in building resilient and inclusive societies.
What role do young people play in contributing to resilience and social cohesion? What are the key issues facing diverse young people today? How can young people be supported to build a productive sense of social belonging, enhance their civic and political participation, and promote their resilience to social harms, on- and off-line?
Our Approach
We use a collaborative Living Lab co-research and engagement approach to establish our research and program agenda. Engaging young people at all stages of our research allows us to better understand relationships between young people’s local worlds, transnational networks, online communities and strategies for enhancing resilience, social cohesion, belonging and participation.
Designed for and with young people, we evaluate:
Youth-focused social cohesion
Digital literacy
Digital and global citizenship
Resilience and preventing social harms research
Initiatives, programs, curricula and interventions
