Streetwize Communications is a leading non profit national organisation specialising in researching and communicating social issues to young people and other hard to reach groups. For over 19 years, Streetwize has been developing comics and resources on a range of issues including health, education, employment, the law and Indigenous specific issues.

Our track record in reaching a diverse range of target groups can be attributed to The Streetwize Process, a process of consultation with the target group at each stage of research and development. This approach – along with the signature Streetwize comic style- has been independently reviewed and proven to be an extremely effective way of reaching diverse groups, particularly those who are often excluded by traditional media and communication channels.

The presentation will outline Streetwize’s proven qualitative research process, demonstrating both the approach and its effectiveness by focusing on a case study, The Other Side, a resource Streetwize is currently researching and developing which addresses young people’s attitudes and information needs around refugees and asylum seekers. The presentation will present the key issues from research with young people, young refugees and experts in the field.
