The Toolbox builds on a children’s rights perspective to provide the tools needed to implement meaningful child participation in a variety of settings
and to prepare children to play leading roles in participatory events.
It builds on an understanding that participation can come in many forms,
and through a variety of engaging activities helps prepare children for
these different situations. Uniquely, this Toolbox also offers tools to
help find meaningful ways for children and adults to work together.
Throughout
the 6 modules, the user is guided on how to run sessions with children
and adults on topics including participation, representation,
facilitation and evaluation, whilst also giving explanations of
different aspects of child participation. Activities in the Toolbox use a
creative approach to help answer questions children might ask
themselves as they prepare to play a role in a project and explain the
important conditions for children to participate meaningfully and
safely. It is a flexible and practical set of tools, aimed at guiding,
inspiring and encouraging the user to implement meaningful child
participation in a way that is tailored to them, their needs and their
context.
