Members of the EuroCohort Croatian research team presented the results of the project at the 26th annual conference of Croatian psychologists “Quality of Life across the Lifespan: Challenges and Recommendations”.
The presentation focussed on the challenges in developing the longitudinal study of children and young people's well-being. More precisely, the findings of Young People’s Advisory Groups (CYPAG) workshops on the importance of children and their inclusion in all phases of research was discussed. The presentation centred on the processes of including children themselves in the design and the implementation of future research through direct consultation with children.
The creation and use of CYPAG-s is an innovative aspect of Work Package 6 led by Institute of Social Sciences Ivo Pilar (Croatia) and University of Saints Cyril and Methodius (Slovakia).
