youth participatory action research  

Definition

  • Youth participatory action research (YPAR) is a research methodology in which young people study their own social contexts to understand how to improve conditions and engender greater equity within them. Thus, youth become researchers and conduct projects that garner knowledge for bettering their particular circumstances, a knowledge that is integral for creating appropriate and useful practices and policies for young people.
