Have you checked out vinspired’s Voicebox project?
http://www.vinspired.com/voicebox

It’s still in its early stages but Sidekick Studios and vinspired are working to put young people at the centre of the conversation.

After consulting young people to develop the themes for investigation we’re using online opinion polls and data visualisation to engage as many people as possible. The aim of this open research project is to get people involved in the debate by stating their opinions and instantly seeing where they sit with the average results. The more people that do the surveys, the more chance we have of getting a fair understanding of young people’s views.

We shall be partnering with Demos to engage key policy makers with the findings and the methodology as a new example for social engagement.
