在本文中，我们解决的问题，让年轻人的声音，让他们作为采访者在研究过程中。在强调这种方法的有益成果和赋权潜力的同时，我们批判性地讨论了这样一个假设，即同龄人主导的面试创造了较少的等级权力关系，因为没有成年人参与。因此，我们告诫不要将这种方法视为解决青年边缘化问题的最终办法。考虑到参与是一种权力形式，我们认为，必须承认和处理影响青年日常生活的权力关系，从而也影响到与他们建立一个参与性竞技场。然而，在以往的研究中，青年人之间的权力关系主要被忽视。本文借鉴了参与性研究项目进行的年轻人（14-16岁）在农村东部德国，重点是年轻人的日常生活经验和他们的未来前景的看法的复杂性。
In this paper, we address the issue of giving young people a voice by involving them as interviewers in the research process. While highlighting the beneficial outcomes and the empowering potential of this method, we critically discuss the assumption that peer-led interviews create less hierarchical power relations as no adult is involved. We thus caution against seeing this method as the ultimate solution to young people's marginalisation. Considering that participation is a form of power, we argue that it is essential to acknowledge and work with the power relations that characterise young people's everyday lives and that thus also affect the creation of a participatory arena with them. Power relations among young people, however, have been mainly neglected in previous research. The paper draws on a participatory research project conduced with young people (14–16 years old) in rural east-Germany that focuses on the complexity of young people's daily life experiences and perceptions of their future prospects.
