A key part of our work is to end health inequalities for young people from Global Majority backgrounds. Acknowledging the fast-paced changes, opportunities, and potential threats in the digital spaces they occupy, Project NextGen focuses on the intersections between, sexuality, race, faith, and technology.

In September 2020, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) became a mandatory subject in secondary schools across England. This change aimed to support schools to address internet safety and unhealthy relationships, key concerns affecting young people with the rise of social media.

We know the adverse effects of prolonged social media use on mental health, and while social media can be a powerful tool for connection and support, it is also an incubator for misogyny, bullying, hard-right radicalisation, low self-esteem, and poor mental health.

South London Youth Project

We are working with youth groups based in South London to have focused discussions on sexual health and mental health-related topics affecting them. Our workshops span six weeks with weekly sessions that are underpinned by themes of gender-based violence, norms and stereotypes, laws and social attitudes yet leaves space for young people to discuss the specific issues affecting them in their own context.

Naz-UCL Community Research Initiative Project

We've partnered with UCL's Community Research Initiative, working with a group of students to explore sexual health and mental health challenges in the university context. Students lead on a research topic, brainstorming issues based on their own experiences. They use mixed research methods, conduct outreach, and develop a final report with support from Naz.
