Project description
Exploring children’s cultures for educational and social policies
Children contribute to fostering inclusive societies by creating their own distinct cultures. The MSCA-funded K-Reporters project aims to amplify children’s voices, recognising them as a valuable source of scientific knowledge when it comes to enhancing their welfare. The initiative delves into children’s politics and culture of well-being, recognising their agency, and gleaning insights from their inventive survival strategies in navigating conflicts and discomforts. The project charts children's cultures, establishes global partnerships for social change, and challenges adult-centric through intersectional pedagogies, informed decision-making, transferable skills, and networking. It will employ ethnography to develop educational innovations, enhance teacher education, and equip professionals working with children.
Objective
Children, as creative social agents, generate unique children's cultures and contribute to the production of welcoming and worthy societies. The goal of this project is to legitimize and elevate children's discourses as scientific knowledge, which must be addressed to enhance children's well-being, the primary axis for building democratic communities. The K-Reporters project is interdisciplinary, international, and intersectoral, with the aim of exploring children's politics and children’s cultures of well-being in contemporary societies. It pursues to acknowledge children's agencies and learn from their creative strategies for survival, particularly in navigating conflict and discomfort. The project will develop cartographies and countertopographies of children's cultures in childhood studies, forging global alliances based on community practices for social change. Ultimately, the project seeks to transform neoliberal, adult-centric, gendered and colonial thinking on children and childhood by scaling intersectional pedagogies based on evidence-based knowledge, transferable skills, and networking to ensure informed decision-making and meaningful action in education and well-being standards. To do so, K-Reporters will reassemble data produced by children and various project stakeholders through ethnography and by merging intersectional approaches, methods, and interdisciplinarity. The project's key lies in transferring educational resources to different fields by validating and disseminating them to educational spaces. K-Reporters will inform the international development of new educational innovations that improve pre-service and in-service teacher education, as well as prepare social workers, educators, and policymakers, among other professionals working with children. Additionally, it will contribute to the fields of Education and Social Justice by addressing the intersectional design method, which is currently underdeveloped.
