The future of the Pacific: youth leadership and civic engagement

该项目旨在调查太平洋地区的青年如何发展和展示为其国家取得积极成果所需的领导和公民参与形式。预计将通过全太平洋范围的研究和采用参与性和协作性方法的三个案例研究，产生关于影响太平洋青年参与其区域面临的深刻挑战的新知识。预期成果包括对太平洋和青年研究和应用产出的跨学科贡献。这将带来重大好处，包括提高各国政府、发展机构和捐助者制定政策和方案拟订措施以培养太平洋区域未来领导力的能力。

This project aims to investigate how youth in the Pacific develop and demonstrate the forms of leadership and civic engagement needed for positive outcomes for their countries. New knowledge is expected to be generated about what influences Pacific youth to engage with the profound challenges facing their region, through Pacific-wide research and three case studies using participatory and collaborative methodologies. Expected outcomes include interdisciplinary contributions to Pacific and youth studies and applied outputs. This should provide significant benefits including enhanced capacity for governments, development agencies and donors to develop policy and programming measures to nurture the future leadership of the Pacific region.
