Title: Children and Youth Participation- The Lundy Model
Bio:
Laura is a Professor of Law in the School of Law at University College Cork and the author of a widely used approach to children’s participation - commonly referred to as the Lundy Model. Her focus is on learning about and sharing research and practice on children’s right to participation in decision-making. See further information: Her 2007 paper in the British Educational Research Journal, “’Voice’ is not enough” is the most highly cited academic article on children’s rights. The model of children’s participation it proposes (based on four key concepts - Space, Voice, Audience and Influence) is used extensively in international scholarship and global practice. The “Lundy Model” has been adopted by numerous national governments, including Ireland it its national strategy and framework on child and youth participation, as well as international organisations including the European Commission, Council of Europe, and UNICEF.
Come and join us and learn how your work can be strengthened by adopting the Lundy Model of participation, including practical examples of applying the Lundy model with children of all ages. This will be followed by a second half-day online workshop, providing an opportunity to put learning into practice and explore how the model can be applied in your own work.
Follow on Workshop: The seminar will be followed by a half day in-person workshop to continue discussions around the topics raised and look specifically at strategies and approaches that you can use to implement the Lundy Model in your own research. Please contact cypwellbeing@exeter.ac.uk with any questions. More details and a link to register will follow shortly.
