Evaluating children's participation: seeking areas of consensus (PLA 42)

Participation involving children is no different from other forms of participation- the process should still be evaluated to establish best practices, and questions constantly asked - Who? Why? How? And who for? This paper brings together observations from the Oslo symposium on the Convention on the Rights of the Child on how this can best be done.
