A quick sketch of initial thoughts, to add to, query and amend as the project develops.
The project crosses into several disciplines/ fields of work, so ethics & principles from those areas will need to be embraced along the way.
The intended aim of the project is central, the core. There needs to be a constant awareness and rebalancing of the matrix of different parts/context, appropriate parameters, (responses to ethics from other disciplines) so the aim doesn't 'drift' through external pressure.
Fields - principles and provocations include:
Landscape - countryside codes; respect SSI; access, landowner's permission etc.
Education - ethics of best practice, health & safety, child protection etc in education/youth arts practice. Need to adapt within these constraints, facilitating project aims of individual learning and freedom of experience, ease of access etc.
Technology - constraints and mechanisms of technologies (incl. web, mscape) eg. privacy, moderation, access and spam issues with website as feedback mechanism. Provocations around identity, observation, tracking of individuals.
Young people - respecting and valuing involvement. Fun, freedom, own time, recognition (accreditation/acknowledgement of participation etc), exit and progression strategies.
R&D - ability to maintain open-ended research; exploratory and emergent; freedom, focus, depth.
Documentation - balancing r&d needs, advocacy, potential evaluation and funding requirements, project ethos, strata manifesto ethos, young people's freedom and privacy, codes of best practice.
Ownership and Rights - balancing participants, artists, prospective funders, genre/sector development, IP, knowledge sharing, etc.
Artists, innovators, facilitators - 'fair trade facilitation', valuing creative exploration; roles, acknowledgement, sharing workloads and feeding own creativity.
- that's a few things to think about, just to get started!
Tracing and monitoring these looks like an additional strand (and field)...

This is a very helpful model - visuals always clarify. I have been breaking Sightlines down into basic 3 strands
1. Preliminary
2. Delivery
3. Dissemination
and your model here is effectively an umbrella of good practice which reaches and covers each angle of the work within all three strands.
I epsecially like 'fair trade facilitation'.
Monitoring these ehtics and principles could give us a foundation for innovative evaluation.
'Mission drift' is a terrible thing, indeed.
