'Training for Young Researchers coming up...'

Things have been really busy here at YRN headquarters since the launch conference in December. We've been active behind-the-scenes putting together a range of training opportunities for network members. The package of training is being rolled our between now and March, when each local young people's project will be putting forward a research proposal and funding bit for up to £3000

Training sessions will cover:
• the research process;
• finding focus and defining a research question;
• identifying a methodology;
• consider the ethical implications of research.

And individual customised training will also be available, as Dr Darren tours the country visiting network members.

Equipping young people with strong research skills is a key part of the Young Researcher Network project to ensure high quality research.

Some of the training will be delivered by the Centre for Social Action , and if you are a YRN member you can find full details of the training that is available to you on our website

If you've been involved in training either as a young researcher, or as someone working to support young people (ages 13 - 25) in research projects - what training have you found most useful? You can tell us in the comments below.
