Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) is a research approach that involves young people in all aspects of the research process, from defining research questions to data collection, analysis, and dissemination of findings. YPAR aims to empower youth to investigate and address issues that affect their lives and communities, giving them a platform to advocate for social change and make their voices heard. This approach can help young people develop critical thinking skills, research skills, and a sense of agency and empowerment. YPAR is often used in education and community development programs to engage youth in meaningful research projects that have practical implications for improving their lives and communities.
