Youth Advisory Board

Our Youth Advisory Board (YAB) ensures that young voices meaningfully contribute to research on social media and well-being. Composed of young people from diverse cultural backgrounds, the YAB meets regulary - to share perspectives, provide feedback, and co-create content for policy and research impact. 

YAB objectives: 

• Empower young people to contribute directly to research and policy discussions.
• Enrich the research process by integrating first-hand youth perspectives on social media and well-being.
• Promote cultural exchange, highlighting both differences and shared experiences in how young people use digital media across Europe.
• Ensure relevance and impact, so that PROMISE findings translate into meaningful recommendations for policymakers and practitioner communities. 

Through the YAB, PROMISE seeks to move beyond research about young people, to research with and alongside them, as partners in inquiry and innovation.
