Findings and dissemination
The Youth Futures project has organised various dissemination events to engage participants and stakeholders in project findings, to share resources, discuss policy implications and test our interpretations. These are detailed below in reverse chronological order.
In November 2022 three exhibitions (one in 91直播, UK; Ekangala and then Johannesburg, South Africa) showcase the youth鈥檚 media outputs as well as photographs of the youth and their homes.
Examples of photos are shown below.
