Youth Criminality
For our research as part of the Secret Groningen project, we decided to look at youth criminality in Groningen. We compared knowledge of citizens and individuals with an expertise in the field of youth crime, to see how much and what is known about this topic by the general public, and how much of that is confirmed by people who work in this specific field. With this we want to shed a light on the youth criminality situation in Groningen. When listening to our podcast you will learn about the views of citizens and individuals with an expertise on the field of youth criminality, as well as about discrepancies between the two regarding youth crime in Groningen.

Grote Markt: past vs present
In this project we have discovered the secrets that lie in the parts of Groningen that we walk past everyday. To do this we decided to investigate one of the most central parts of the city, both geographically and historically: the Grote Markt. This square has played a significant part of Groningen’s history. Yet, we were certain that there are many interesting stories about this area that are unknown to the general public. For our project we wanted to unveil these stories and share them by studying the changes that have happened during the past 80 years, since WWII, and how they have influenced the lives of people.

Coronavirus perception in Groningen and Racism
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first detected in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Only 71 days after the first report, WHO characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. As the epidemic spreads around the globe, cases of Asians or Asian descendants being targeted for discrimination were reported due to the fact that the virus was first detected in an East Asian country. Our group decided to investigate people's recognition of COVID-19, especially those who live in Groningen, the Netherlands. Our goal of this project is to draw a line between protecting self and having prejudice against certain groups of people during the Corona crisis.
