This project is funded by The Community Knowledge Fund, through our partners The Young Foundation and UKRI. We will also be working with Egin throughout this project and thank all our partners for their support.
There have been two stages to this project. In the first phase, the young people chose the research question ‘What things get in the way of being eco-friendly according to cost, age, culture, and the area of Wales people live in?’. We developed their skills and knowledge to help them become peer researchers. They agreed on questions for a survey and focus groups for their peers.
In the second phase, young researchers delivered on this plan. They released the survey and analysed the findings themselves, with Children in Wales’ support. They also co-facilitated their own focus groups in schools and youth groups to answer their research question in more depth.
Here is the report detailing young researcher’s findings:
