Examining and supporting youth, education and wellbeing on a complex planet

Welcome to the Young Lives Research Lab

We co-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.
Kate holds the SSHRC-funded, cross-sector Tier 1

WHAT WE DO

We work across three integrated areas of research to conduct unique research alongside young people and their communities to investigate their lives and experiences and co-design educational resources and opportunities to better support wellbeing of people and planet.

Hello from Dr. Kate Tilleczek

Thank you for joining us! Welcome to this living space where we promote and share the work and co-creations we have made together with young people and their various communities all around the world. This site is ever changing as we seek to visualize all that is being done by resourceful, creative, resilient youth in their commitment to support improved and reimagined forms of education and wellbeing of people and planet.
