Youth Activism and Education
Collaboration between the Universities of Buenos Aires & Leeds
Dr Madeleine Le Bourdon, Associate Professor in the Politics of Development, School of Politics and International Studies
The project has built a network of leading scholars at UBA and Leeds working on Youth Activism and Education. We have held regular seminars where each member presents their current research or scholarship. This has been highly successful, providing international feedback that has furthered individual's work and stimulated ideas for collaboration. In July, the group will host the panel 'International Trends in Youth Activism' at the V Latin American and Caribbean Biennial in Early Childhood, Childhood and Youth in Manizales, Colombia. The group hopes to build on the success of the network to obtain a grant for a larger project to explore the role of informal and formal education on youth across Argentina and the UK.
