Description

Educational re/engagement of marginalised youth via wellbeing and community. This Project aims to improve educational outcomes for vulnerable young people in rural, regional and remote [RRR] areas of Australia. It is well documented that health and wellbeing may be major impediments to schooling re/engagement; thus, the project expects to demonstrate the effectiveness of using community-based, interdisciplinary approaches to removing such barriers. Expected outcomes include the identification of key principles for models of support for the welfare needs of RRR youth before educational re/engagement can occur. The project's benefits align with Australian Government goals to improve educational access for youth in RRR contexts to improve lifelong prospects for employment, housing, health and civic participation. .
