Minor Choices, Major Voices!
Belfast City Youth Council (formerly Belfast Youth Forum) members have been working with Dr Jonny Byrne from Ulster University on a piece of research titled 'Minor Choices, Major Voices' which looks at the experiences of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic young people living in Belfast.
Our young people created a survey centred on five themes:
A sense of belonging
Racism and prejudice
School life
Living in Belfast
Changes you would like to see
During April 2021 we asked BAME young people, aged 13-18 and living in Belfast, to take part in this survey and the results are currently being analysed. Our next step is to carry out some further research and carry out some more in-depth qualitative research in addition to the results of this survey. We then hope to present a report with recommendations, made by the young people, on how Belfast can be a more culturally diverse city.

Within the Belfast City Council Youth Forum (BYF), the Diversity sub-group are engaged in a research project which aims to explore the issues faced by Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic young people aged 13 -18 within Belfast. Ultimately, this project will provide a platform for these young people’s voices on a range of issues, whilst exploring what they perceive to be the positive and negative aspects of living in Belfast. In capturing the views and perspectives of young people, it is anticipated that their voices will serve to shape and influence future efforts to improve their lives within the city.
The survey will be available to complete from 12th – 30th April 2021.
The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. No personal contact details are required and all responses are confidential. The findings from the survey will be used to inform a report which will outline the key issues, views and perspectives as identified by young respondents.
