"Deutschland ist insbesondere bei den Kindern und Jugendlichen ein Land mit einer Vielfalt an natio-ethno-kulturell-religiösen Hintergründen. Vier von zehn unter 18-Jährigen (39%) haben einen Migrationshintergrund und, insbesondere wenn sie einen dunklen Hautton haben, erfahren Alltagsrassismus.

Wie lässt sich dem begegnen? In diesem Band werden sorgfältig entwickelte Projekte wie „WillkommensKITA“ oder „Kinder gegen Rassismus“ vorgestellt. Wie Medien Rassismus begegnen können, wird anhand der Entwicklung einer antirassistischen Sketch Comedy (Moooment!, KiKA) aufgezeigt. Sorgsam entwickelt und fünffach evaluiert werden typische Facetten von Alltagsrassismus aufgezeigt und damit diskutierbar gemacht. Von Rassismus Betroffene können mit der Sendung ihre Erfahrungen angemessener einordnen und Kinder und Jugendliche, die Rassismus beobachten, können diesen eher erkennen und zu Verbündeten werden. Welche Lösungen Kinder und Preteens für den Umgang mit Rassismen finden, zeigt schließlich eine weitere Studie." (Rückseite)

ting them. This article provides an in-depth description of the process of a participatory action research project carried out with children with disabilities from a rural village in India. It argues for the utility of participatory filmmaking as a research methodology that supports inclusion of children with disabilities as co-researchers in research and action processes. The different phases of the research project, namely the preparatory, participatory research, and the action phase, are made transparent along with the details of activities carried out within each phase. The technical and pragmatic challenges faced within this participatory filmmaking process are pointed out, and strategies used to negotiate challenges and adapt this methodology to fit context-specific needs are shared. This account of the complex, yet flexible and adaptable, participatory filmmaking process is presented as means to support critical and informed uptakes of participatory filmmaking for inclusive research practices with children with disabilities."

a de los Derechos de la niñez y adolescencia nos presenta la expansión del Internet y su creciente presencia en la vida cotidiana de las nuevas generaciones. No se trata de diabolizar los avances tecnológicos ni los cambios en las comunicaciones humanas, producto de dichos avances, sino de reconocer las oportunidades y las amenazas que representan el uso masivo de las mismas. El acceso a Internet es para niños, niñas y adolescentes una herramienta de enorme valor para la obtención de información, comunicación y expresión de sus puntos de vista, así como el conocimiento de nuevas y variadas realidades. Para muchos el acceso a Internet, en la fase histórica en que vivimos, tiene un significado similar a lo que fue la incorporación de la lectoescritura a principios del siglo pasado: una herramienta imprescindible de integración, comunicación y acceso a los bienes de la cultura. Desde esta mirada, el no acceso constituye una brecha de exclusión que se entrelaza y potencializa con otras variables asociadas a la producción social de la vulnerabilidad. Por otra parte, no podemos desconocer que las potencialidades del internet coexisten con riesgos y amenazas. Para los niños, niñas y adolescentes navegar en Internet tiene riesgos similares o tal vez superiores a los que supone el transitar cualquier espacio público sin el acompañamiento responsable de un adulto [...]
Muchas experiencias dan cuenta de continuidades entre violencias virtuales y físicas. Solo a modo de ejemplo, podemos citar el bullying que es extendido a través del cyberbullying o la utilización de Internet para reclutar posibles víctimas de trata o de explotación sexual. El dualismo del Internet nos enfrenta al desafío de articular acceso e inclusión con protección. Acceso seguro con realización de derechos y es aquí donde es necesario reafirmar algunos principios y conceptos presentes en la Convención de los Derechos del niño. En primer lugar, el principio de corresponsabilidad, los niveles de protección de los niños, niñas y adolescentes requieren una corresponsabilidad entre familia, comunidad y Estado."

otional and social resilience of children affected by conflict in the Middle East. Since the creation of the films in 2013, a cohort of implementers have trained animators in Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, and Jordan on their use. The Guidance on Training is an attempt to synthesize and systematize the way trainings are conducted throughout the region. It focuses on puppets (manipulating puppets, showing children how to make puppets), working with children, key messages of the films, and session planning. The Guidance on Training includes the components needed for a successful training on the use of these films. It is not, however, prescriptive, and should be adapted as appropriate to each individual context. The Guidance includes both a 3-day agenda, suitable for training on one of the films, and a 5-day agenda, suitable for training on both films." (Introduction, page 1)

the Child (UNCRC). Building on theories of organizational evolution, hypotheses proposed that (1) ratification of the UNCRC served to codify and more broadly communicate the legitimate norms of the community, and (2) dissemination of normative information made it easier (a) for less experienced organizations to form and maintain partnerships, and (b) for organizations to form partnerships without reference to shared third-party contacts or dominant organizations. Data analysis via a longitudinal network model supported the hypotheses. Further investigation via an event history analysis suggested that these effects were largely confined to links among organizations in the children's rights community and not to links made by these organizations to more general others."
