YCR International Summer Research Program 2022

YCR International Summer Research Program 2022

Youth Center for Research (YCR) organizes a Summer Research Program (SRP) every year; a flagship international program in which young people from around the world gather in a virtual learning space that enables young aspiring researchers, advocates, and change-makers to undertake transnational collaborative research. The opportunity is unique in its arrangement which entails intergenerational dialogue and active engagement of the youth with experts from various fields of specialty.
Future leadership awaits young people. Therefore, they need to be prepared to take this position and lead the development discourse. However, this leadership position requires preparedness, and that in turn requires awareness about the issues and challenges facing us. The journey towards this understanding begins with research and dialogue facilitated by transnational collaboration.
