Our “Brief-in-progress” : Informing curricula through arts-based pedagogies asserts that youth researchers have a unique role as generational “translators” in educational policy:
By integrating youth research into national and organizational policies of all major educational bodies, youth researchers can inform policy development. Each year national and international organizations working on education issues produce research studies related to educational issues, but these studies should engage youth researchers to ensure that youth perspectives and voices are heard.
But is that true?
We invite you to Read the policy brief and leave your comments. In particular:
- Do you have experience engaging young people to inform educational policy/curricula?
- If so, what were the successes and/or limitations?
- What solutions do you suggest to overcome barriers/to innovate?
Response
-
I do not have a direct experience engaging young people to inform educational policy/ curricula but I believe they should definitely be engaged or their voices reflected.
I think, the more actvities/ discussion/ engagements you do the more awareness it raises, so, I guess it’s a process of reforming the practices and informing the authorities for the adoptation.
