New Publication: Ingredients for Meaningful Relationships and Participation

Inspiring Children’s Futures is pleased to announce the publication of Online Intergenerational Participatory Research: Ingredients for Meaningful Relationships and Participation, published in the Journal of Participatory Research Methods Special Issue: Participatory Research with Youth.

This paper has been co-produced with IICRD and children and young people from the #CovidUnder19 initiative, as co-authors, and experts and creators of knowledge in a working collaboration between the COVID 4P Log smartphone app project and the #CovidUnder19 initative. This intergenerational partnership has concluded with the publication of this paper, and COVID Learning Report: Children’s Participation.

Online Intergenerational Participatory Research explores the experiences of #CovidUnder19 young people as researchers, focusing on the data analysis and knowledge exchange phase, and includes their reflections on meaningful intergenerational partnership in research. This includes the importance of relationships, embracing our ‘inner child’, and fostering meaningful participation in the research process. The paper concludes with recommendations for other researchers on how to work in partnership with children and young people meaningfully to strengthen the process and impact for researchers and children’s human rights.
