Projects blogs

With thanks to Elena Di Antonio, Research Manager at YouthNet for this guest blog.

Last month we ran four online focus groups with young people, as part of our ongoing research looking into young people’s online help-seeking behaviour. Planning and running these online focus groups has been a really interesting process for us and we’ve learnt a great deal, which we thought we’d share with you.
 
We ran the focus groups using a virtual meeting room, and overall they were a great success: we were pleased with the number of people taking part (28 participants, with only a 12% drop out rate in the total number of young people that originally agreed to take part).  Also, participants were generally very engaged throughout and gave us many varied and well considered answers. more >

We recently held a launch for our Active Citizens project, we invited local partnership organisations to join us to discuss their involvement.

It was a great opportunity to discuss how we might work with other local organisations, including the Totterdown Residents Environmental and Social Action Group (TRESA), UWE, some student froms UWE's SIFE team, the Square Food Foundation, Windmill Hill Community Orchard, Bristol City Council, Somerset Terrace Action Group (STAG) and others. more >
