Young people are the ones we talk about, more than the ones we listen to, the ones we show more than the ones who show how they live. The POP-PART research, a multidisciplinary project of the Centre for the Social History of Contemporary Worlds, has attempted to take up this challenge: to build, with young people, youth professionals and researchers, a "more accurate and more complete representation of the world", taking into account the diversity of trajectories and situations. It tried to overcome the two pitfalls of research on the working classes or the subaltern: on the one hand, a vision from above, which sometimes contributes to stigmatization, and on the other, a form of naive romanticism. Involving one hundred and twenty young people, fifteen or so professionals or association leaders and fifteen or so researchers, it has developed a participatory methodology based on workshops, the production of videos and texts, and the discussion of analyses.
