This Master thesis is about how to involve Young people in a creative process. The aim is to see what methods can be applied to make them reach the kind of knowledge they need to be able to contribute to the creation of a memorial place. Issues such as if a place that displays death has a right to exist in an urban environment or why Young people should be involved in the creative process are brought up and discussed in this thesis.The memorial place that the Young people contribute to is unique, in some sense, due to it not commemorating any special event or person. The purpose of the memorial is rather to serve the public when larger catastrophes occur or to serve individuals who do not have a grave they can visit to commemorate their loved ones. The idea is to place the memorial in an urban setting in the city of Borås.In this thesis the process that the Young people participate in is reported in a form similar to a diary where the reader can follow the developments of the Young participants, from how they gain knowledge to how they develop their ideas.

The purpose of this study was to explore Young people's participation and experience of participation in child protection investigations. The study was conducted using qualitative methodology and is based on interviews with four adolescents aged 13-19 years old who have experience of child protection investigations. Our chosen method has made it possible for us get a deeper understanding of Young people's own experiences of participation. In order to analyze the material we have used Shiers (2001) model of children's participation, symbolic interactionism, and some concepts relating to shame and pride.The results show that all adolescents have had the opportunity to be heard during the investigations, but it is different to what degree they feel that someone has listened to them.Two of the Young people have been involved in their investigation, been listened to and have had impact on the decisions taken. The results indicate that it does not seem to be the external factors, such as how many meetings they have had, or what quality it was on the information, that matters if the social worker did not manage to convey to the Young people that what they told was of any importance.

Our intention was to examine what Young people think about the City Library Dynamo as a venue, and how they perceive its activities and functions.In order to compare two different cultural venues for Young people, where Dynamo is one, interviews were also conducted at a location other than the library, at Arena 29, a cultural activity house for Young people in Gothenburg.
