The opportunities for children and young people to participate in social contexts and learning situations are of great importance for their continued participation, learning, development and well-being, also in terms of cultural aspects. The individual is seen as active and co-creative.
It is central to our research that children and young people in need of special support, or who risk ending up in exclusion, should be given the opportunity to actively participate in, and contribute with, their own competence in preschool, school and leisure environment. Our research also aims to support inclusive learning environments and to reduce exclusion mechanisms that may arise during childhood and adolescence and that may cause long-term impact on the entire life course.
