This new edition of A Handbook of Children and Young People-s Participation brings together work from research and practice to reflect on some of the key developments in the field since the first edition published in 2010.
Subtitled -Conversations for Transformational Change-, the collection focuses on both ongoing and new discourses that enable us to advance thinking and practice to better understand what it means for participation to be transformational. Featuring all new content, it explores the developments that have been achieved in theory and practice in the last decade as well as the challenges and, indeed, the limitations of dominant participation approaches with children and young people in achieving genuine societal transformation.
