Children’s Participation: learning across
countries and across disciplines
|
|
|

|
This programme
builds on the productive UK seminar
'Theorising Children's Participation: international and
interdisciplinary perspectives', held in Edinburgh
in 2006.
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. |
