What is it about?

My name is Roy Smith. I am conducting a piece of research into youth participation as part of my MA in Comparative European Studies of Youth work and Social Disadvantage at the University of Bedfordshire. The research will examine the experiences of young adults aged 16-25 interested or involved in any form of internet-based political or community participation. This could cover anything from involvement in forum discussions to creating web sites, groups / communities or ePetitions; involvement in community consultation or decision making; creating or joining a website, forum or social network page to campaign or raise awareness of an issue important to them.
