The Redesign Youth Futures team
This exciting initiative was made possible by the University of the Arts London’s Strategic Priority Fund. It is made up of a partnership with key individuals including Alison Frater, Visiting Professor at Royal Holloway, Lorraine Gamman and Adam Thorpe of the Design Against Crime Research Centre, Shane Carey and Louis Edwards of Reprezent, whose initial insights prompted the partnership and project delivery with help from John Poyton of Redthread. Also Jocelyn Bailey of the Social Design Institute and Henrietta Ross of the MA Data Visualisation course at University of the Arts London, plus Kate Marlow and team at Here Design.
Our partners
Join us
By visualising the complex, interrelating factors that lead to youth violence, we’re bringing a creative approach to the problem. We’re informing multi-agency working, so people can engage with this information in more effective ways.
Are you ready to share this experimental perspective and help us take it further? Join us in making sense of the statistics and help redesign the future of young lives.
We’re looking for data justice and research partners to help inform our approach. We’re particularly interested in those with robust qualitative and quantitative data sets, as well as any significant information that lends itself to being visualised and/or is linked to future action, including possible research funding applications.
