Course content
The course is a collaboration between NTNU and University of Stavanger, and will problematize and discuss the inclusion and recognition of children as partners in childhood and welfare institutions based on various social pedagogical perspectives, including dialogism and critical pedagogy. The inclusion of children as partners is enshrined in both social policy and legal guidelines for upbringing and welfare services.
The course will draw on recent research on collaboration between children and professionals. The purpose of the thematic area is to discuss challenges related to cooperation with children within different institutional frameworks.
The course will safeguard NTNU's commitment to sustainable development and relate to section 10.2 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (promoting inclusion regardless of age, gender and disability), section 16.6 (effective, responsible and open institutions) and section 16.7 (responsiveness, inclusive, participant-based and representative decision-making processes at all levels).
