We participate, we take action! Co-designing a child participation platform (ImCitizen)

Abstract

Discover how to co-design a Child Participation Platform! 10 steps explained by girls and boys who have already done it. This book results from the joint effort of children from ten schools in six Spanish municipalities who have participated as active and committed members of society in co-designing child participation platforms. The initiative stems from the IMCITIZEN project, funded by the European Union, which was designed thanks to the synergies between three universities, two associations and the technical staff of a town council. It aims to bring about changes so that child participation mechanisms have a significant impact on public policies and on the education of children's civic and democratic identity.
