Working in Partnership with Children and Young People on the Move: Strategies and Tools for Meaningful Participation

Do you work with children and young people on the move? Do you want to learn more about meaningful participation theory and practice? Are you keen to pick up new skills and tools to help you on your journey as an adult ally? Then this guide could be for you!

Working in Partnership with Children and Young People on the Move: Strategies and Tools for Meaningful Participation was developed as a collaborative process between the International Institute for Child Rights and Development (IICRD) and the Destination Unknown community. 

The guide incorporates key learning from Destination Unknown members, youth ambassadors and children, and shares theory, good practices, recommendations, and opportunities for growth around meaningfully engaging children and young people on the move. It includes a focus on children aged 8-18, with some adaptation for younger and older children, children with different abilities and for COVID-19. 

"We hope this guide will support people working with children and young people on the move to facilitate and support the meaningful participation of children on the move in issues that affect them in a sustainable way," said Caroline Horne, Head of Campaign - Destination Unknown. 

We hope this guide will support people working with children and young people on the move to facilitate and support the meaningful participation of children on the move in issues that affect them in a sustainable way.
