YOUCOUNT Youth Citizen Science

Let’s explore how young people can be socially included! With the YouCount App, you can contribute to better knowledge on social inclusion for young people. Together with youths from nine European countries – Austria, Denmark, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom – you can share your daily life experiences of participation, belonging, and citizenship in your community. You can share which places you spend time, what activities you do, with whom you spend time, and what these places, people, and activities mean to you. When do you feel that you belong and take part in society and the local community? What makes you feel supported, strengthened, and have a voice? You know better than anyone else, what your daily lived experiences of inclusion and exclusion are. We invite you to be a young researcher and share your experiences with other youths and researchers in the YouCount App. We also invite you to create new knowledge and innovations for social change in cooperation with other youths and local people, organizations, and authorities in your community. YouCount is a research project funded by the European Union and we aim to address one of Europe’s most pressing challenges: How to increase social inclusion for young people? The interactive app and user community run on the Citizen Science Platform SPOTTERON at www.spotteron.app.
