From the editor 
Bringing together salient information about young people for youth researchers’ consumption is a daunting task. This is the challenge I faced in bringing forth a new fresh look to our website. For its design, I used a combination of playful fonts and pictures embedded in subtle earth colors, aimed at highlighting the “academic” as well as the “youth” in us. I look forward to receiving articles, news and other related information from you or from other online visitors. This maybe the fastest and the most efficient way to inform the world’s academics, researchers and policy-makers about your youth projects and initiatives. So keep me updated and if you request, I will upload it to this website.
