Our 1st Youth Research Dialogue took place on 23 June
Thank you for joining the first episode of our newly established thematic online series of evidence-based youth research findings – the Youth Research Dialogues.
Our inaugural speakers Cristina Bacalso (Research Consultant Adolescents, Youth & Policies) & Andreas Karsten (RAY Transnational Research Team) presented insights and recent findings of studies related to our overall topic: How to strengthen the youth sector post-pandemic? (speaker details are below).
The heart of the episode was the dialogue between the two researchers, moderated by Tomi Kiilakoski, which was not only informative but also thought-provoking and ‘food’ for further discussions and actions.
A thank you also to Domagoj Morić who is responsible for the digital facilitation & visuals.

See you next time!
