Young People at a Crossroads

Young People at a Crossroads is a project which is worth a look at, and provides a range of resources as well as a teacher guide. 

Young People at a Crossroads was an ESRC-funded research project (Jan 2021 - Feb 2023) about how second-generation immigrant young people and their parents are responding to climate change in Manchester and Melbourne.

Researchers worked alongside 14-18-year-olds with family migration backgrounds to find out what they think about climate change and how this fits with their families’ experiences of adapting to environmental uncertainty in the UK, Australia and worldwide.

It has been developed by researchers at the University of Manchester, and I have mentioned it previously.

The overview of the project is here.

This book has been collated by Catherine Walker, lead researcher on the YPAC project, and includes original contributions by YPAC Young Researchers, and environmental educators Kit Marie Rackley and Nerida Thompson. It is illustrated by Maisy Summer. The support of the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) for the work presented in this book is gratefully acknowledged.
