Children and young people have much to offer the community they
live in, but are often excluded in decisions and policies that
affect their development, as their own opinions are ignored or
overruled much of the time. Participatory approaches used in
development in a practical framework can provide the vehicle needed
to include children in the decision-making processes which affect
their communities, and can have far reaching implications for
policies and practice.;This text presents the key issues and
challenges involved in facilitating children and young people's
participation in the development process. The contributors come
from a range of backgrounds including NGOs in development,
children's agencies, academic institutions and governments,
bringing a multi-disciplinary approach to children's
participation.;Chapter One provides an overview to the main issues
and concepts, and chapters Two to Seven each expand on a particular
theme, drawing on case studies from around the world. The main
issues discussed and analyzed include: the ethical dilemmas that
face professionals in addressing children's participation; the
process and methods used in participatory research and planning
with children; the inter-relationship between culture and
children's participation; consideration for institutions; and the
key qualities of a participation programme for children and young
people's participation.
