OUR RESEARCH

Our research explores how children and young people experience a rapidly changing world, and how technology can support their rights, resilience and wellbeing. Working with young people and partners in Australia and around the world, we study issues including digital wellbeing and safety, learning and work, participation in public life, climate action, identity and belonging, and children’s rights in digital societies. Our youth-centred and participatory approach places children and young people at the heart of the research process: from shaping questions and gathering evidence to co-designing practical tools, programs and policy responses. By bringing together academic, community, government and industry expertise, we produce knowledge that can improve services, guide policy and practice, and create meaningful change.
