Dialogues with children
Lead
Objectives
To consult and partner with children in high-risk urban contexts to share their perception of risk, ideas on ways they could increase their resilience and empower them to communicate their priorities and ideas to their peers, communities, policy makers and practitioners.
Description of work
This work package is led by Save the Children Italy who will, in collaboration with Save the Children UK, design and offer advice on the running of the consultative workshops with children. Each partner will then conduct the workshops, gather the views of children which included filming, and send a report to Save the Children Italy.
Task 1 Creation of workshop format consultations with children to understand their perception of risk, hazards, vulnerability and resilience. These dialogues would empower and enable children to participate in the tasks below and in work packages 5 and 6.
Task 2 Provision of in depth consultative workshops (average 30-50 children per country), in mainstream educational settings (primary or secondary educational settings) or within youth or specific cultural organisations as appropriate e.g. workshops in Greece will concentrate on consultations with blind and deaf children and young people, (but will also advise all partners on disability issues). In each country, general and special educators will collaborate and workshops will focus on different types of risks and hazards in relation to different cultural settings.
Task 3 Child-led identification of risks and their impacts. Children will identify what they can do themselves to increase resilience and reduce risk within their community and what others can do. Collate this information to highlight children’s perception and prioritisation of risk.
Task 4 Child-led communication plan. Children will identify ways of communicating information about what they can do themselves and what others can do to increase resilience and reduce risk within their community, and how to inform other students, teachers, community members and practitioners, taking into account needs of different audiences (sensory disabilities, language or literacy problems etc.) e.g. through drama, posters, stories. Production of short film clips incorporating a range of children’s views on how they have experienced emergencies and how governments can be invited to engage with the issues from children’s perspectives; informing disaster management policies.
Task 5 Create opportunities for children from participating countries to share experiences and perspectives with each other (through online platforms and social media)
