We have heard over and over from the communities we have engaged with so far, that youth are bored, there is nothing for them to do, and that councils or communities need to provide them with more targeted spaces and activities in order to remedy this… but is it really solely up to councils and communities to overcome this barrier for youth? What else is really underpinning the concept of youth boredom?
Our Strategic Impact Director Danielle, discusses some of the upstream systemic insights that we believe are also having an impact on youth boredom, in hope that it may inspire us to think a little broader in how we can all collectively contribute to solving this issue.
