Examining and supporting youth education and wellbeing on a complex planet

Welcome to the Young Lives Research Lab

We’re excited to have you here!

We develop and house Kate Tilleczek’s lively program of research that is built in reciprocal collaboration with youth and youth-serving groups across countries, communities, cultures and worldviews.

WHAT WE DO

We work across three integrated clusters to conduct unique research with/by/for youth and their communities to investigate their lives and design education to support wellbeing. Each cluster contains multiple projects.

1. Youth & the Anthropocene 2. Youth & the Digital Age 3. Education with/for Youth Wellbeing
