The Born in Bradford Age of Wonder project is capturing the journey through adolescence and adulthood for teenagers in Bradford between 2022 and 2029. Working with secondary schools, the project is gathering health and wellbeing data from students aged 12-16 through surveys, measurements, and biological samples.
The goal is to understand the perspectives of young people, measure pandemic recovery, and design targeted interventions to improve life chances. One hundred students will share detailed personal accounts of growing up in Bradford. Participating schools will receive feedback on student health and wellbeing, opportunities for students to gain Science Technology Engineering Math (STEM) and arts skills. This puts Bradford youth at the forefront of public health research nationally and internationally. By participating, schools and students will help understand how to make Bradford an amazing place for young people.
