Youth-led Participatory Action Research (YPAR) empowers young people with different trajectories to explore and address issues affecting their lives.
In this toolkit (participatory action) research
is an effective way not only of understanding complex realities, but also of taking concrete action to tackle them collectively.
YPAR (Youth-led Participatory Action Research) builds on the foundations of Participatory Action Research (PAR), a collaborative and transformative path to research where the people most affected by an issue take an active role in studying and addressing it.
Unlike traditional research methods that put the ‘researcher’ in a power relation towards ‘those being researched’, PAR promotes a more democratic and just approach in which those experiencing the problem are the true experts : They lead and work alongside researchers in the process of co-creating and applying knowledge. In this sense, PAR is especially valuable for addressing socio-ecological issues tied to inequality and oppression.
