Think Big Wiradjuri Youth Participatory Research Project – what happened?

Abstract

Wiradjuri are the largest Aboriginal Nation in New South Wales. Wagga Wagga, a Wiradjuri word meaning ‘dancing place’, or ‘place of many celebrations’ was the proposed site for a Think Big project, a multinational youth collaboration project. The Wagga Wagga based Think Big research never reached the stage where children carried out their research. We share that it is important to identify the factors that hindered the project so that with hindsight we can anticipate where future research pitfalls might be avoided.
