The NEVET international research workshop: "Studying young children's perspectives: Challenges and implications", June 2016

Following the research project "Young Children's Perspectives on Risk and Protection" 2014/6, a research workshop of the Israel Science Foundation "Studying young children's perspectives: Challenges and implications" was held at NEVET, Hebrew University of Jerusalem. About 30 international and national leading scholars on children’s perspectives presented their studies during the workshop.

The presentations and discussion groups covered crucial questions such as: How to do research with young children? What have we learned on the methodology of studying young children's perspectives? What have we learned about young children from studying their perspectives? What have we learned from children about their self-perception and agency? What have we learned about children's thinking? What are the implications for research and practice (teacher's education, social workers and therapists)? In addition, ethical concerns regarding children's rights to privacy were discussed.

The workshop enabled the first exposure in Israel regarding studying young children's perspectives. While discussing future directions, many local researchers and practitioners requested to hold a workshop that will deal with course construction for training programs like social work and education. We are currently we are planning the follow-up workshop.
