Action research –
What's cooking

ABOUT – UNITED KINGDOM

We have 4 UK panels, which include young people from across all four nations (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). Our panel calls and discussions have focused on several themes, such as: education, environment, economy, physical and mental health, relationships and reflections and discussions about how the pandemic has been managed across the UK and internationally.

Members of our panels have documented and reported their thoughts, comments, and observations through a range of different methods. From traditional research methods, such as conducting interviews with peers about their return to School, analysing media reports about the general public not following social distancing measures to communicating key messages through more creative methods – such as embroidery, art, photography and diary videos. Our action researchers help each other design their research tools and collectively reflect on key findings in a supportive manner.
