Children's and young people's right to participate has been
increasingly acknowledged and taken up internationally, as
expressed in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Yet much
of this has focused on collecting children's voices, rather than
achieving change, and has met its limits. This book provides an
analysis of children's participation in formal, collective and
action research processes in six different international settings.
It offers a deeper understanding of what helps and facilitates
children's and young people's participation through research,
evaluation and decision-making to go beyond voice and effect
change. This analysis is set in the context of historical and
current discourses of participation, the sociology of childhood,
contemporary anthropology, children's geography and international
development. Themes addressed include time and processes in
children's participation, shifting and multiple identities of
children, political and cultural contexts, places and spaces
children inhabit, skills and capacities of adults, accountability
and power. The analysis promotes an approach to children's
participation as relational and collaborative, and will contribute
to answering some of the questions facing practitioners and
researchers embarking on participatory enquiry with children and
young people. This is an invaluable book for practitioners and for
scholars, postgraduates in anthropology, sociology, human
geography, childhood studies, development studies, social policy,
social work, community work, education, youth work and those with
an interest in citizenship, children's rights and human rights.
Researchers and practitioners in UN, government and non-government
services will also find it applicable to engaging with children and
young people.
