Objectives
This one-day workshop aims to facilitate the exchange of note-worthy practices in the collaboration between (young) children and adults, and to involve participants in contributing to the definition and development of a new international initiative that supports partnership between generations – for the sake of social equity and sustainability.
The theme
The theme of the workshop highlights ways for very young children to fulfil their right to be heard and to be taken seriously in discussions involving well-being outcomes for children and adults.
We will dedicate particular attention to exploring the conditions required for environments to be more supportive of children’s participation, and the core capacities that enable and improve quality of relationships between children and adults.
Participants
This workshop welcomes representatives of any child-serving organisation, who wish to learn more about a partnership approach between young and adults, or who have their own experiences to share.
Process
The workshop is roughly structured according to the metaphor of 'head, heart and hand.'

We are inviting some of our partners (ISSA, Eurochild, Bertelsmann Foundation) to share work they have done in the area. We will offer examples from diverse sectors.
