Part of an ongoing MSCA PhD project, this study aims to empower and highlight the knowledgeable voices of young people from refugee and asylum seeker (RAS) backgrounds. In order to overcome systemic injustice, and the testimonial injustice (Fricker, 2007) often faced by people from RAS backgrounds, participants were taught researching skills to apply to the 16+ Education Equality Campaign and other community issues. They seek to understand what education opportunities young people from RAS backgrounds need and want in Northern Ireland.
