Cooperation and financing

As researchers we work together with a variety of partners with whom we form a learning community. We are working with researchers associated with the strategic theme Dynamics of Youth, and students from different teaching programs from Utrecht University. We have established collaborations with secondary schools in Utrecht, Mira Media (until July 2021), the Media Team (from July 2021), Utrecht Public Library, JOU (Youth Work Utrecht) foundation and the municipality of Utrecht.

The project started as an assignment for BA and MA students of Information Science, Computer Science, Human Computer Interaction, and Pedagogical Sciences of Utrecht University with the UNION project as its client. It was later funded by the University of Utrecht strategic theme Dynamics of Youth within the hub Change Your Perspective, and by the Municipality of Utrecht with an IMPULS grant to support the further involvement of schools. The project is part of the UNION project (in Dutch)
