Description

The project ‘Youth-led Action Research’ (YAR) engaged youth in documenting the impact of the pandemic on the marginalized youth in the Asia and South-Pacific region, focusing specifically on mental health issues of the youth during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The aim was to develop capacities of youth in Asia and the South-Pacific to engage in action research, aimed at building the capacities of marginalized youth to lead and conduct research in their communities and generate perspectives on education programs and strategies for their benefit.
