Projects

Micro-Credential for Neurodiverse Young People in Whittlesea

This project supports neurodiverse young people in completing a Micro-Credential in Co-Design for Diversity and Inclusion and to evaluate their progress in successfully achieving this in Whittlesea.

Young People’s Education and Employment Aspirations in Geelong

The project will provide Geelong region stakeholders with a strong evidence base over 3 years to co-design innovative interventions to foster the education and employment aspirations of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds in Geelong.

Regenerating Geelong

A multi-stakeholder, multi-community, multi-organisational, multi-year (long term) program of applied research, ethical innovation, transformative and disruptive policy and practice for regenerating capitalism in Greater Geelong and the Great South Coast in Victoria (AUSTRALIA), for futures that are sustainable and just for all.

Code Red Alliance for Young People

The project is developing a global network of researchers in childhood and youth studies who will work with partners and collaborators in seeking philanthropic funding for ‘audacious’ interventions into the many crises shaping young people’s presents and futures.

Young People in/and the Anthropocene

This research program will find, explore, and co-produce new ways of thinking (for the young and old) and of being and becoming in times of change (4th Industrial Revolution) and crises (Climate, Plastic, and Mass Extinction).

COVID-19 Recovery Scenario’s for Young People in Melbourne’s Inner North

This scenario planning project developed research informed scenarios of possible futures (Chaotic, Unsustainable, and Sustainable Futures) for young people in Melbourne’s inner north in 2025.

Young People and Micro-creds for Sustainable, Regenerative and Just Futures

When formal education systems are largely concerned with the testing and ranking of young people in relation to the acquisition of the individualised skills that ‘industry’ needs, then micro-creds can enable communities and young people to capture and create shared social, cultural and economic value for sustainable, regenerative and just futures.

The Young People’s Sustainable Futures Lab (YPSFL) is a collaborative research lab that brings together researchers and other stakeholders to co-design young people’s sustainable futures in times of crisis and disruption. The starting point for YPSFL is situated in our concern with, and for, young people’s well-being, and their education, training and employment pathways in these unfolding crises.

We acknowledge the First Peoples who are the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia, and we celebrate their enduring connections to Country, knowledge and stories. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen, and that sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
