I know that I am good at Mandela drawing so did it on a world map. “There is a lot of stuff going on in the world, like poverty, war, climate change, inequality and lack of opportunity. But your one small step can change the world in a good and positive way.”</b></div></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Artist: Shekiba Fuladi</b><br></div><div><br></div><div><p>This
photograph featured in the <b>Youth Booth</b>
exhibition showcasing the work of 10 Victorian young people produced over the
2019-2020 Australian summer. Their work captures their collective experience:
being digitally savvy, the stress of study, influence of social media, climate
change and the impact of poor mental health. These perspectives, along with our
video series produced alongside this, allow us to see the complex situations
that impact the youth experience of education.</p><p>For
schools, teachers, parents and policy-makers it highlights the importance of
listening and collaboration with young people, particularly when developing
policies and implementing practice to build more inclusive communities. For
researchers, we hope this exhibition highlights one way to use participatory
visual research methods to support and strengthen the voice of youth.<br></p><p>The
exhibition adopts a rights-based perspective which emphasises the importance
not only of listening to youth, but actively and authentically collaborating on
matters that directly affect them.<br></p><p>The
study was conducted by researchers Dr Christine Grove and Louisa Trainer in
2019-2020 at Monash University and is funded by the Monash Education Small
Grant Award.<br></p><br></div>
