March 2008 Archives

I want to know all about young people-led research (big or small, academic or non-academic) that has already been conducted, presently underway, or planned for 2008. You do not have to be living in the UK to contribute to this discussion, simply start by answering the questions below:

1) What are you research interest?

2) Why are you doing reserach?

3) What support from adults are you getting and how can it be improved?

4) What do you hope to gain from your research?

5) Is this your second or third attempt at doing research?

6) What went wrong in the past and why will it work this time round?

7) What do you hope to influence or change? Your own knowledge, personal circumstances, or is it for the local community?

We at the Young Researcher Network want to undersanding your own personal journey's in doing research and we hope you will share your experiences and stories in order to support future individuals and groups of young people who want to use the messages from research to bring about change in their lives and communities.  

Young researchers make your work more potent!

Think about ....

• who else is interesated politically in your research area?

• who could do something with your findings?

• what are the relevant policy areas?

• who is it best to contact to make change happen?

To help young researchers begin to make thses policy links we are bringing together a panel of local and national policy makers for a Question Time event.  YRN members will be able to pose questions directly but we will bring all questions to the panel.

So blog your questions here and we will ask for you and post the replies....
