On this page you will find examples of our engagement activities. In February 2023, the first meetings to establish the network took place. Young people from UCan and RIP:STARS in the UK drew on their experiences of collaborative research to reach out to peers in Zimbabwe, Uganda, Australia and Japan. Since then, we have grown by meeting regularly online and through two conferences. Young researchers have also been busy engaging children and young people as part of their own research projects and you can see some of the highlights here.
