Abstract
This research report explores the relationship between Home and Personal Agency as key
concepts in understanding young people specifically in Eldorado Park, Johannesburg. Kom
Binne (come inside) takes the reader on a journey of the history of Coloured people in South
Africa while exploring the relationship between marginalisation, homelessness and the current
state of the community. The writer uses a practice- based research approach and ethnographic
approach to reflect on the practice-based six-week project where she worked with High School
learners in exploring their understanding of and relationship to the concepts of home and
personal agency. The report explores possible ways this kind of exploration can be further
developed in the further to serve the demographic on a larger scale. The study revealed that
there is an intrinsic relationship between home and personal agency which for some gave them
voice and strength and for others made them self-conscious and hyper aware of the world.
