PROJECT DESCRIPTION: We are the Research Raccoons. We’re a group of 9 high school researchers from Drumchapel High. The main reason we joined the research group is because most children don’t get a chance to do research or get their views & points across - this group gave us the chance to do that. We learned all about research and then as a group we picked a topic and did our own research project. As well as writing a report on our findings, we made this comic to help other young people understand research ethics. CYCJ believe involving children in research is one way to respect our rights. They helped us learn about research, carry out our project, write our report and make this comic and share it with others. They want to do that with other groups of young people too. We really enjoyed getting to choose our own topic to research and being in control of all the decisions we made. It always involved us all.
