description |
This Academic Collaboration
brings together experts in Brazil, India, South Africa and the
UK. Exchanges are taking place, in the first three countries,
which will be the springboards to achieve the following theoretical
objectives:
• Mapping out the different theoretical approaches to
participation from relevant disciplines as developed
in their country contexts; exploring their strengths and weaknesses;
exploring their usefulness in relation to children’s participation.
• Interrogating the notion of the ‘international’
and how children’s participation can be understood
locally, regionally and internationally and how theorisation
can be developed that encapsulates these differentiations.
• Developing advanced theoretical frameworks within which
to conceptualise children’s participation.
