Beyond the familiar challenges for children and young people's participation rights: the potential of activism

E. Kay M. Tisdall & Patricio Cuevas-Parra, University of Edinburgh · 2022 · Academic paper

Conceptual paper arguing that, 30 years on from the UNCRC, children and young people's participation still meets the same 'familiar challenges' (tokenism, lack of sustainability, weak accountability), and drawing on child activism to propose an 'ecology of participation' running from conventional engagement to protest and transformation.
