Youth Flourishing
Youth-focused research on resilience, empowerment, development and flourishing in cross-cultural contexts.
Our Project
There are currently 1.8 billion youth globally, accounting for the largest generation of youth in history.
Their wellbeing is central to the flourishing of this and future generations. This project responds to the urgent need to understand and influence interventions to support youth flourishing and advance programs that contribute to the physical and mental wellbeing of youth.
The project’s youth-led practices are critical to ensure the meaningful participation of youth in decision-making that affects their wellbeing. The findings will broaden our understanding of the adverse impacts on youth arising from conflict, violence, insecurity, climate change, COVID-19, poverty, and gender inequality, and how youth are grappling with global upheaval across the world.
