This year, students from Trent University worked collaboratively on helping the City of Oshawa complete a Play Works application for the upcoming deadline. In groups, students did research on how various community partners demonstrated several youth-friendly criteria according to Play Works. These criteria include ensuring that a youth-friendly community: allocates funding towards youth play; ensures youth feel valued and respected; celebrates and recognizes youth; and encourages positive youth development. Students compiled evidence by conducting research online and contacting community partners.
