| dc.description.abstract | This report documents four months of study with the Village Bloggurls, a community group foryoung girls in Lotherton Pathway, North York. The purpose of this project was to investigate the potential for community programs to be places of learning about planning and space. This research relied upon feminist methodology and methods, and occurred through three main workshop activities with the Village Bloggurls. Results found that young girls are interested in and capable of ning processes, though they lack formal opportunities to do so. The participants also felt empowered to make changes in their community stemming from the work of this research. The report concludes with an assessment of challenges of working with youth in the context of planning as well as recommendations for future research in this area. | en_US |
