Interview with Arianna Tripodi, Youth Participation Advisor, Youth & ICT4D and Gabriella Rask, Coordinator of the International Youth Coalition.
The participation of children and young people is a right. Nonetheless, it is often still considered an additional luxury, participation is limited to older children only or children and youth are invited as mostly passive listeners, who are not considered equal participants in debates affecting their lives. Gabriella Rask and Arianna Tripodi explain in this interview what child and youth participation should be like.
