Abstract:
This study focuses on the conditions that children’s participation experiences
that take place in different educational settings, such as the school, leisure education
and children’s councils, should fulfill. Our findings are based on a multiple
case study performed in six educational experiences, in which the information is
provided by the main figures of the participation: the children involved. The
children’s inputs allow us to identify three categories that define the conditions of
children’s participation for the latter to be meaningful and authentic: (1) the
acknowledgement of the rights of childhood; (2) how the participation-based
experience works, and finally (3) the role of the educators. It transpires that the
conditions stated by the children coincide greatly with the ones indicated by
different authors in their theoretical proposals.
