Young and Resilient Research Centre

Investigating the role of technology in supporting intergenerational resilience.

The Young and Resilient Research Centre, incorporating the Intergener8 Living Lab, works collaboratively with young people, and the people and organisations who support them, to generate evidence and actionable research that can shape policies and practices which strengthen the resilience of young people and their communities.

Our research deploys youth-centred, participatory co-research and co-design methods across four key research programs, underpinned by a cross-cutting Living Lab (Intergener8 Living Lab):

Intergener8 Living Lab
Reinventing Learning and Work
Realising Youth Participation and Engagement
Enhancing Health and Wellbeing
Activating Places and Platforms

The Institute for Culture and Society is located in Parramatta, “the place where the eel sets down” in Dharug language,
along the north bank of the Parramatta River. It sits on the traditional lands and waters of the Burramattagal people of the Dharug Nation,
who have been stewards and caretakers of these territories since time immemorial, in what today is referred to as Greater Western Sydney,
one of the most diverse cultural communities in the world and home to the largest number of Indigenous Australians in the country.
The Institute for Culture and Society acknowledges the Dharug, Eora, Dharawal (also referred to as Tharawal)
and Wiradjuri peoples as traditional custodians and Indigenous knowledge-holders, whose storytelling serve
as historical record, a form of teaching and learning, a way to care for Country,
and an expression of Indigenous culture and identity.
