Empowering young people to build a future for themselves

In this interactive session, Dr Taylor will be discussing young people’s perceptions of their interactions with adults (teachers, parents) with regards to their present education and future career. Using examples from her recent research with adolescents in the UK and five other European countries, Dr Taylor will illustrate how young people can sometimes feel excluded from their own education and their own future. The discussion will explore ways in which this perception can be avoided by giving young people a voice and the tools to make informed decisions for a better future, with our help.
