This is a Sport and Social Development Youth Participatory Research Project by the Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education and Hart House at the University of Toronto. The purpose of Youth Participatory Action Research is to shift the objective from doing research on youth to doing research with youth. Here, young people become the authors of their own research, more so than the object of someone else’s study. YPAR projects centre on issues that matter most to youth, meaning the primary objectives are to offer youth a platform through which to express their own thoughts about critical social issues, contribute their unique insights, and propose solutions that will be best suited to addressing the issues that concern them. In this series we will be speaking with new coming youth, answering the question "what role does sport and physical activities play on the life of a newcomer youths' mental well-being?"
