Youth-Led Action Research on Transforming Democratic Participation
Two passionate young researchers, fueled by their desire to make a difference, were awarded small grants to conduct action-research on issues close to their hearts and reflective of their lived realities. The projects were supported by the Porticus Foundation, and they center on democratic governance and civic engagement, aiming to foster youth-led insights and action.
These findings are more than simply research; they are testimonies of young leaders taking charge and moving the discourse forward on civic participation and democratic governance. They present new, youth-led perspectives, provide new results for advocacy, and make meaningful suggestions to donors and partners.
