Contemporary Childhoods/Youths (CON-CHY) Contemporary Childhoods/Youths (CON-CHY) ========================================== The OL builds on the expertise of several CIVIS research groups and centers on participatory and collaborative work with children and youth focused on critically examining the current socialization and educational experiences of young people across a variety of formal and informal contexts. Our socio-educational proposals stemming from the OL aim to contribute to sustainable development goals through work with young people. The disciplinary and thematic outreach of the OL is broad and is/will be capable of collaborating with informal groups of children and youth, schools, non-formal educational organizations, families and communities. The transversal feature of our work is the use of participatory/collaborative, qualitative, multimodal and arts-based methodologies with young people. We also draw on expertise in the use of interactive, digital and geomedia research devices with young people. The first OL project began its planning in the Summer of 2025 and is particularly interested in the experiences and mobilities of children and youth in urban contexts and in addressing the needs of diverse childhoods, young people at social risk and adopting a critical and intersectional perspective (that problematizes the role of gender, social class and cultural-geographical background, as well as other forms of diversity) to research and social intervention. [Learn more about the project](https://civis.eu/storage/files/con-chy.pdf) Main Beneficiaries & Social Impact --------------------------------------- ### Main Beneficiaries Our OL projects are open to the community of large, each individual initiative may be of interest to other researchers and professionals (across a variety of sectors) working with young people. Working with participatory methodologies involves the active engagement of children and adolescents who come into contact with OL projects through schools, their involvement in after-school organizations or other community events. So far, CON-CHY OL projects co-involve young people in data collection processes and arts-based creative dynamics. ### Social Impact The current project (2025-26) focuses on young people's participation, inclusion and exclusion from urban settings. We aim to raise awareness of the place of children and youth in city contexts and public space, paying particular attention to mechanisms of exclusion in local community settings and neighborhoods. We use arts-based and digitally mediated interventions in public space led by young people as a consciousness-raising strategy. Core Methodology ----------------- - Arts-based projects: visual art-work, performative art, soundscaping methodologies, walking methodologies. - Qualitative research techniques: Participant observation, semi-structured interviews, photovoice interviews, focus groups, document analysis. - Digital geovisualization techniques: digital cartographic and geovisualization tools.
