EdLab Reporters - Support a Creative Project on Loneliness
Channel: Ed Lab
Date: 2017-01-08

Young people are being helped to provide a unique glimpse into loneliness sometimes experienced by their peers.

This innovative project will develop the capacity of 12 young people (14-25 years) to conduct peer-research into youth loneliness in Manchester and across the UK.

Youth loneliness is increasingly recognised as an important and timely issue for research and action.
 
The Loneliness Project is being developed by a partnership between Manchester Metropolitan University’s Centre for Childhood Youth and 42nd Street, a Manchester-based mental health charity for young people. The project fully embraces a ‘peer research’ approach, with a young person, trained by MMU and 42nd Street, leading the project.
EdLab Reporters is a project to use the power of student reporters and the connections of the Faculty of Education to share information about community connections and learning happening all over the City.
