CVC research opportunity: Widening children’s participation in research

This morning A/Prof Kathy Cologon and Dr Carolyn Gregoric lead the first meeting for Children's Voices Centre affiliates focusing on new projects about "Widening children’s participation in research". Twenty-one people indicate their interest and 10 people were able to join this morning. 

We began by reflecting on Country. Here are a few comments provided by our attendees. 

  • "Yamaa (hello) from Wiradjuri country. This morning, as I pulled up to work, a whole mob of roos was bounding through the carpark and I just thought how beautiful that is to see at my place of work!"
  • "Warami (hello) everyone! Warami is a greeting in my Dharug language. I am on beautiful Yuin Country. I have been watching a pair of magpies skillfully build a nest outside my window over the last week. Amazing!"  
  • "Yiradhu marang (good day) from Wiradyuri Country - I'm down south in Albury on the banks of the Milawa Bila (Murray River)  

Each person provided an overview of the research they had undertaken with, for and about children. WOW! The past, present and future research is inspiring. We will work together to plan the next steps which may include a scoping review and a Delphi study.
