Research at this conference proved to be vital in processing and presenting participants' issues and concerns. Each participant was assigned a group and submitted results to the research team, consisting of staff, facilitators, and delegates. Daily activities allowed individual participants to discuss topics in groups and the research team summarized their general opinions. Research assisted participants to interpret findings by summarizing large amounts of information. Participants learned what youth value and what to consider when making recommendations that will help better their communities. Without research, information could not have been collected and presented. With the help of research, participants gained a clearer picture of the concerns and issues affecting today's youth. Adults and youth can now have a better understanding of themselves, their community, and their future, and begin to make change!
