Co-creating tomorrow. our city, our say. Report and recommendations of the Southampton Youth Voice Project
This report presents a co-designed enabling environment model to support the commissioning of a youth voice service in Southampton. Grounded in the lived experiences of local young people, and developed through the NxtGen Researcher Training Programme, the report offers practical recommendations for implementation of the enabling environment model, alongside wider insights into the systemic conditions needed to embed inclusive, sustained, and meaningful youth engagement. It moves beyond consultation and existing models for co-creation by focusing on the underpinning conditions required for youth voice to thrive, positioning young people as critical researchers and equitable stakeholders in shaping policies and services that affect their lives.
