Abstract

Participatory media approaches were used as a strategy to provide space for youth with refugee backgrounds to narrate their early settlement experiences. The paper describes the challenges of participatory media approaches as both a research tool and as a strategy. The key learning was that giving freedom for voices also requires giving structure - freedom and structure go hand in hand in creating spaces for exploring and expressing early settlement experiences.
