Young Voices, Big Ideas

Young Voices, Big Ideas is an innovative public engagement project to gather young people's voices on the changes they want to see to live a happy and healthy life.

In a unique partnership with the Children Growing up in Liverpool (C-GULL) study, Young Voices, Big Ideas brings together children and young people’s ideas on changes they would like for a happier and healthier future. The installation showcases how this ground-breaking research can help us answer children’s questions and improve children’s health and wellbeing.

The Young Voices, Big Ideas installation shares children’s ideas through their drawings and voices, and amplifies the change they are advocating for. It explains how the C-GULL study can help answer children’s questions and improve their health and wellbeing.

Young Voices, Big Ideas was exhibited at Museum of Liverpool 19 Oct 2024—12 Nov 2024.

The Young Voices, Big Ideas archive has been made public so it can support wider research and action. You are welcome to explore the archive and use the findings to inspire your own work.

The University of Liverpool has commissioned Young Voices Big Ideas and was originally inspired by the 2020 project Multiverse Lab.
