Youth-led Research
The Commission's research is truly
a youth-led project. Young people
are leading the development of the
hypotheses, conducting the research and interviews, and analysing the data. We are seeking to answer the following question:
How can society better equip young people to make a lasting positive impact on their world?
- The Commission is conducting an ongoing research project comprised of focus groups, research surveys, and qualitative interviews. The scope of our research is from apathetic to engaged and from primary school to post grad. We will be asking what issues young people care about, what actions they think are most effective, and what they are actually doing about it. Check out the progress of our research and our publications.
- Our first focus group took place in late November and more are scheduled
for this year. Check out the events section for dates and locations. - The inclusion of youth throughout our research methodology is informed by the Commission’s goal to make youth-facing organisations truly youth-led.
Unbiased Youth Voice
The Commissioners also act as representatives of young social entrepreneurs at events around the country. Every Commissioner has participated in the Summer Academy which provided training on leadership, creativity, and
innovation. We advocate for young people’s empowerment and seek to empower other young people by demonstrating genuinely youth-led projects.
