CIESPI is just launching a series of three research bulletins which offer an overview of three themes of concern to CIESPI from the articles included in our bibliographic data base `Child and youth participation-academic production in Latin America, 2005-2023. The three themes are participation. decoloniality, and intergenerationality. This part of the data base contains 254 article in Portuguese and 189 in Spanish for a total of 443.
Social participation and protagonism encompass a group of studies which is growing and has gained attention in Latin American countries in the past years. The first bulletin looks at various apects of this corpus setting out the broad a diverse aspects of the works, a resource fundamental for those who wish to join the debate. The second bulletin touches on the theme of decolonialty which allows us to better understand the power relationships present in the experiences of social particpation for children and youth in Latin America. This is a perspective little explored in the academic literature and reinforces the importance of our analysis. The third bulletin explores the issue of intergenerationality, expanding efforts to understand how children and youth position themselves in social, cultural and political contexts composed of people of different ages and struggling with adult centric visions and actions.
The data base itself, and this series of publications were part of the project Citizen participation: children and youth populations in focus, coordinated by professor Irene Rizzini (PUC-Rio, DSS,CIESPI) with the support of FAPERJ (CNE - Processo E-26/201.113/2022). In the project we define different aspects of children and youth civic participation and protagonism.
