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.

Young Voices, Big Ideas will be popping up at locations across Liverpool between December 2023 and September 2024, before appearing at the National Museum Liverpool in October 2024 for two weeks. It will visit schools, fun days, community events, local fayres, festivals and markets to reach diverse groups of children and young people across Liverpool.

Children and young people will be encouraged to add their voices and share their ideas through audio recordings, digital messages and hand-written notes.

The project will shape future rounds of data collection and research focus for the Children Growing Up in Liverpool (C-GULL) cohort.

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.
