Exploring the Potential of a Co-Creation Platform for Children and Youth

Abstract

We present a project in its initial phase, a partnership between a Norwegian municipality, teachers, students, and researchers. We explore two interconnected concerns: First, the need for new ways of involving young citizens in co-creation processes in public sector when approaching the transition to a low-emission society. Second, within education, there is a need for more arenas for practical involvement of students in authentic democratic processes and more teaching for and through democratic processes.
