The workshop aimed at understanding by the participants 5 key elements of the standard regarding the respectful participation of the child in the decision-making process and the examination of the practical aspects regarding the observance, promotion and implementation of this standard by APSCF member organizations.
During the group activities, the participants came up with a set of recommendations on:
- tools for monitoring and assessing compliance with the child’s opinion;
- effective and respectful methods and tools for collecting children’s opinions / ideas, adapted to their individual and group abilities, needs, interests and particularities;
- selection and training of specialists / experts to ensure compliance with this standard in activities;
The organizers intend to examine together with the participants the other 6 standards on the participation of the child in the decision-making process of the organization, the next workshop being scheduled for September 2020.
