Description
Summary:It is essential to move beyond treating child participation as a uniform concept to progress in implementing children’s rights in policymaking. A compelling framework is protagonist participation, rooted in critical and Latin American perspectives, which provides a robust foundation for promoting the active involvement of children and adolescents in Chilean public policymaking. This approach prioritizes the practical dimensions of participation, highlighting power dynamics and evaluating participatory practices. Research findings underscore the importance of intergenerational collaboration, policymaking influence, and recognition of diversity within the concept of childhood participation to promote children’s participation in the Chilean policymaking. This study employs Semi-Structured Interviews and the Mosaic Approach Method (MAM), a flexible and adaptive methodology, to foster intergenerational and protagonist participation, particularly in contexts characterized by significant inequalities and adult-centric dynamics as the Chilean policymaking.
