Launch of the u'GOOD Relational Wellbeing Research Programme on the Youth of the Global South

The youth in urban and peri-urban environments of the Global South experience unprecedented challenges in the journey to find their place in society. Extreme levels of unemployment, poverty, climate change, poor education and a lack of skills are just some of the factors that adversely impact their relationships with their environment, their beliefs, the people around them, societal structures and their support landscape. This is where u’GOOD provides researchers with an opportunity to help make a difference and for young people to find their voices. A Framework for Relational Wellbeing Research u’GOOD is a multilateral, multi-partner, and multi-year research programme in partnership with the National Research Foundation, the Human Sciences Research Council and Fondation Botnar. Its objective is to accelerate research into relational wellbeing and young people across 12 countries - Colombia, Ecuador, Egypt, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Morocco, Romania, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, and Vietnam - through the funding of projects that encourage researchers to adopt a relational wellbeing framework at the intersection of young people’s lives to advance theory and test it in the following themes: • Livelihoods • Mental health • Digitalisation • Climate change Youth Wellbeing Through a Relational Wellbeing Lens Relational wellbeing as a framework seeks to establish people-centred, collaborative and participatory approaches to conducting research and offers important opportunities for advancing social inquiry, understanding problems, and elevating solutions for young people in innovative ways. The result will be a significant advancement of our understanding of human wellbeing and the development of theory applicable to the Global South .
