| Summary: | Research with young people living in vulnerable situations shows tensions between the aim of finding out their perspective and that of respecting their need of controlling their image. In order to meet the two objectives, a research was conducted with 16 young people aged 14 to 18 living in care in France and England. It was aimed, on the one hand, at exploring young people’s narratives of their everyday life experience. On the other hand, it sought to develop research methods which would give young people as much control as possible over their own implication in the research and over the contents of their testimonies. For this purpose, we developed three different tools for data collection, including social mapping, guided walks and digital cameras. This article presents the main guidelines and the development of the research, the diversity of the data that was collected, and their potential for a qualitative understanding of young people’s everyday life in care. The article ends up with a questioning about strengths and limits of these tools from an ethical and a methodological perspective. Through these descriptions and analyses, it contributes to a reflection on methods which would be appropriate to the specificity of young people in care and more broadly, on implication of young people in research. |
