Proposal

This seminar poses a reflection on:

- Conditions that must exist so children’s participation is real.
- Role of the adult in this process.
- Changes that can happen in the school, the neighborhood, the city.

​

The methodology of work: "With children’s skin"

- Participatory dynamics: presentation of the attendees, expectations about this workshop, formation of small discussion groups.
- Reflection in a small group about interesting aspects arising from the previous sessions of the Biennial, in this workshop...
- Communication to the rest of the participants of the reflections of each group (Each group will design a form of communication).
- Sharing and drafting conclusions.

Throughout the process, we will try to direct our look-remember the child or the girl that we all have inside.
