Workshop Manual: UNICEF State of the World's Children

Launched in 2016, RErights is a collaboration between Western Sydney University and the Young and Well Cooperative Research Centre (Australia), in partnership with Digitally Connected and UNICEF’s Voices of Youth, and a range of other national and international organisations. RErights.org is a platform where young people aged 10 to 19 are invited to share their perceptions and insights about their lives in the digital age by completing a series of activities – or what we call Missions. Facilitated by Western Sydney University, researchers around the globe use these insights to produce materials that enrich the understanding of young people’s experiences of and engagement with digital media, with the aim of informing decision-makers working in this area. In each Mission, participants are asked to complete different tasks such as surveys; debates; reflection & discussion; and creative (and fun!) mapping and brainstorming activities. Workshop activities are designed to capture adolescents’ insights and experiences in a variety of forms: text, photos, scans or audio/video footage. The content generated from workshops from over 20 countries around the world will be analysed and the results will feature in UNICEF’s State of the World’s Children 2017 report.
