**9. Methodology and design: participatory action research**

We conducted this study fully aware of the above and in choosing our methodology and design, we decided to use tried and tested scientific approach that would attempt to replicate such inclusively entangled relationalities. We adopted an approach which would not mirror the usual extractive humanistic and positivistic colonial patterns where data are collected. Rather, we opted for an approach that would promote the agenda for social justice, equity, freedom, peace, and hope. Such an approach would not be extractive, but it would be interventionistic as we jointly, and together with the youth, generated data for this study. Therefore, in this study we document and report on how we tried to intervene to give the unemployed youth the second chance at preparing and securing a job and/or establishing a business. Our mode of intervention was online with and based on the principles of Participatory Action Research—PAR [37].
