Examining and supporting youth, education and wellbeing on a complex digital 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
Canada Research Chair in Youth, Education & Global Good
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.
Our 3 integrated areas of research are:
1. Youth & the Digital Age 2. Education with/for Youth Wellbeing 3. Youth & Planetary Wellbeing
Hello from Dr. Kate Tilleczek
Thank you for joining us! Welcome to this living space where we share the research and co-created outputs we’ve made with young people and their various communities all around the world. This site is ever changing as we seek to visualize this meaningful work that’s being done by resourceful, creative, resilient and diverse youth in their commitment to supporting improved and reimagined forms of education and personal, planetary and digital wellbeing.
