Winners of the Public Engagement Project of the Year - Growing Up On the Streets. Growing up on the Streets is a participatory research project that seeks to improve the lives of vulnerable and marginalised street children and youth. The team worked with hundreds of street children and youth in three African cities, Accra, Bukavu and Harare. The research at the heart of the project aims to understand youth’s capabilities on the street in their daily lives, in order to improve policies and practices that transform the lives of street children. Led by Prof Lorraine van Blerk, the team members are Dr Wayne Shand, Janine Hunter and three project managers in Ghana, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zimbabwe. A key success has been the significant engagement of street children and youth in the consultation for the United Nations General Comment on Children in Street Situations (a new international law to be released in 2017). Supported by the project street children and youth shared their own findings from the research and articulated them confidently in order that the General Comment would be founded on their experiences, needs and solutions. This new UN law will have a profound impact on how street children are perceived and treated worldwide. To find out more about the project, please visit https://www.dundee.ac.uk/cechr/projec...
