CO-RESEARCH TOOLBOX
Welcome to our Co-Research Toolbox. These resources are freely available and provide practical tools and techniques for researchers, industry, and communities to involve children and young people in research, advocacy or policymaking.
Youth Co-Research Toolkit for Researchers
This toolkit is designed to support and guide researchers who wish to meaningfully engage young people as co-researchers to explore and solve real world problems, together. This toolkit offers guidance, advice, tips and practical tools to support collaborative co-research partnerships between researchers and young people.
Youth Co-Research Toolkit for Young People
The resources in this toolkit provide information, advice and tools for young people to build their confidence and skills as co-researchers to contribute to real-world impact.
MAPIMO
MAPIMO is a digital emotion mapping tool that explores, captures and visualises the intangible aspect of a place. This tool crowd-sources community insights to map the emotional geography of specific sites, towns, cities and/or regions across time, and can be easily adapted and repurposed for a diverse range of contexts.
Youth-Engaged Policy Toolkit
The Youth-Engaged Policy Toolkit helps young people, researchers and policy makers co-design youth-centred indicators and strategies to strengthen youth participation in policy. It can be adapted to different policy challenges and jurisdictions.
Online Safety Campaign Assessment Tool
The OSCAP tool is designed to help organisations assess whether their online safety campaign is making a difference. It helps plan an evaluation of a campaign so that its impact and effects on children and young people can be assessed.
Digital Capacities Profile Tool
This tool enables us to capture users’ ‘digital capacities’ – their abilities to mobilise material and symbolic resources in order to maximise benefits, opportunities and aspirations afforded by the digital. The profile enables points of comparability between different communities across local, national and regional scales and is underpinned by a user-centred, participatory process of generating bespoke indicators that can best capture a particular community’s digital needs.
Youth Engagement in Health Research Guidebook
This is a suite of resources to guide and support researchers in engaging and collaborating with young people. Regardless of what phase of research you are in, these resources provide simple and practical steps which can help you engage with young people in ways that are respectful, meaningful and inclusive.
