Abstract

Youth engagement in African psychology is a growing area of interest, reflecting broader efforts to incorporate diverse perspectives into psychological research and practice. Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews with young psychologists and psychology students. Focus groups included discussions on youth's perspectives on psychology education and practice. Youth participants highlighted a significant interest in community-based psychological interventions, representing over half of their proposed projects and research themes. The findings underscore the importance of including youth voices to enrich African psychology by addressing local needs and fostering culturally relevant practices. There is a need for more inclusive educational curricula that prioritise community engagement and cultural relevance in psychology training programmes.
