In partnership with the Global Fund for Human Rights, we carried out a participatory research process to develop a learning agenda at the intersection between human rights and youth livelihood in West Africa. The process involved online and in-person accompaniment to a team of young community activists, whom we trained as co-researchers to investigate the topic in their life and within their communities. Eventually, with the support of the Recrear Team, they wrote stories that were published in a learning agenda called ‘Youth Lively-hoods’. The stories are followed by reflective questions and accompanied by a series of group exercises that could be implemented to deepen the learning.
