Analysis of the status of child participation in Croatia

The team of five scientists from the Faculty of Education Education (Social Pedagogy Program) and the Faculty of Philosophy (Pedagogy Study), in cooperation with the UNICEF Office for Croatia, conducted a survey of the situation in the field of child participation in Croatia in 2015.

A special focus on the analysis was put on the participation of children from vulnerable groups, who are at bigger risk of being less involved due to their personal characteristics, difficulties, and conditions of life that make them more difficult to participate. T

he purpose of this study is to gain knowledge for the future research on child participation, policy development and advocacy of child participation and development of methods for direct work with children in exercising their rights of participation, especially when it comes to children from vulnerable groups.

In order to achieve the objectives of the study and gain profound insight into the field, a qualitative research approach was applied: the desk analysis method (analysis of already available materials, documents, practice), consultations with relevant experts and on-site visits.
