- PublicationAdventure Playgrounds: an introductionAn Adventure Playground is an area fenced off and set aside for children. Within its boundaries children can play freely, in their own way, in their own time. But what is special about an Adventure Playground is that here (and increasingly in contemporary urban society, only here) children can build and shape the environment according to their own creative vision.
352 - PublicationApproaches to Youth Participation in Youth and Community Work Practice: a Critical Dialogue(Youth Workers' Association, 2020-08-31)
; ; ; ; Participation, and the inclusion of young people in decisions that affect them, is important to professional youth and community work practice (Smith 1983, 1988; Jeffs & Smith 1987; Irving, Maunders & Sherrington 1995; Harrison & Wise 2005; Ord 2007; Wood & Hine 2009; Batsleer & Davies 2010; Sapin 2013; Corney 2014a, 2014b). However, application of the concept is contested (Farthing, 2010, 2012) and, as Smith (1983) has warned, participation, while central to youth work, has not been well understood. Ord (2007) goes further to suggest that understanding what is meant by participation is crucial to good youth and community work practice.93 - PublicationArticle 31 Action Pack Children's Rights and Children's Play : Resources for Action to Implement Article 31 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the ChildThe right rest and leisure, to engage in play is usually missing from any discussions of children's rights. It is all too easy to fall into the trap of thinking only of those rights which are about protections; from poverty, from war and from abuse of every kind. This view will tend to see children as victims. The Article 31 Action Pack focuses on those articles which are about participation.
921 - PublicationA change of Rhythm, Nicaraguan Style, in children and young people's participation: A simplified interpretation of the new international framework "A toolkit for monitoring and evaluating children’s participation" informed by the experience of the Nicaraguan pilot project 2011-2013Since the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted in 1989, we have known that all the world’s children have the right to participate; particularly, as defined in Article 12, the right to express their opinions and have these given due weight on decision-making on all aspects of their lives.
59 - PublicationChildren's rights and social justice: Case studies from Nicaragua as a resource for students and teachersThe eight case studies in this volume were written as part of the “Education for Social Justice” project coordinated by Leeds Development Education Centre.

The project involved schools in Slovenia, Portugal, Latvia, Estonia and Bulgaria as well as the UK.
53 - PublicationIncidencia de niños, niñas y adolescentes como ciudadanos/as activos/as en Nicaragua(CESESMA/Universidad del Norte de Nicaragua, 2010)
; ; ; ; ; En este documento presentamos los resultados de un proyecto de investigación realizado en sociedad por el Centro de Servicios Educativos en Salud y Medio Ambiente, CESESMA, y la Universidad del Norte de Nicaragua, UNN, en el marco del programa "Ciudadanía Activa en Centro América", con el fin de encontrar respuestas a las siguientes cuatro preguntas claves: 1. ¿Cuáles son las condiciones que favorecen la incidencia política de niños, niñas y adolescentes? 2. ¿Cuáles son los espacios o modalidades de organización y participación que propician la incidencia de niños, niñas y adolescentes como ciudadanos/as activos/as? 3. ¿Cuáles son las estrategias de intervención y las metodologías de facilitación que nos conducen al éxito en la promoción de incidencia política de niños, niñas y adolescentes? 4. ¿Cuáles son los obstáculos que tenemos que enfrentar y cómo los han superado?84 - PublicationIPA Global Consultations on Children’s Right to Play ReportThe child’s right to play, leisure and recreation is set out in article 31 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). While the Consultations described in this document acknowledged the importance, and overlap, of each of these elements, an emphasis was placed on the right to play as it is one of the least known, least understood, least recognised rights of children and consequently one of the most consistently ignored, undervalued and violated of children’s rights in the world today. Working with regional and national partners, the International Play Association identified eight Consultation sites worldwide: Bangkok, Beirut, Johannesburg,Mexico City, Mumbai, Nairobi, Sofia and Tokyo. Following a careful planning and preparation process, consultations were held in these cities between January and June 2010.
