The Hub \u2013 an initiative funded by Heritage Canada\u2019s Digital Citizenship Fund \u2013 was designed by collaboration with youth, scholars and youth-serving organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is a research project, but its scope and mandate is to engage \u2013 through an educative hub \u2013 Canadian citizens, young and old,\u201d says Kate Tilleczek<\/strong>, professor in the Faculty of Education, director of the Young Lives Research Lab and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)-funded Canada Research Chair in Youth, Education and Global Good at York.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis digital citizenship and well-being hub is an extension of the work we do (in the Young Lives Research Lab) where we engage young people to figure out what it is they need to know and work with them to co-develop new educative spaces.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tilleczek\u2019s team at the Young Lives Research Lab includes: Deborah MacDonald<\/strong>, senior project manager; James Stinson<\/strong>, senior research associate; and post-doctoral fellow Roxanne Cohen<\/strong>. They are working with scholars and youth-serving organizations such as the Students Commission of Canada and UNICEF Canada, as well as with young people, to develop The Hub.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
