"The children’s participatory process is an exciting and key component of the Empowering Children & Media (ECM) project, which aims to improve the representation of children and children’s rights in the news media. The report focuses exclusively on the methodology used for the children’s participatory workshops. The information in this report may be useful for organisations and individuals who plan to promote children’s participation in their research, policies and interventions. Children’s opinions and contributions are valuable and must be accessed on issues that affect them. This report illustrates both the necessity and the benefits of children’s participation."
