OLIVEIRA, Fabiana de. Considerations about an experience of children participation in urban areas in Brazil and their perspective about it. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2017, vol.30, n.1, pp.157-179. ISSN 0871-9187.  https://doi.org/10.21814/rpe.8688.

The aim of the current study is to address child participation according to actions taken by a Brazilian non-governmental organization. The developed research is featured as qualitative due to the conduction of a bibliographic and documental study and to the consequent content analysis. It is known that studies focused on child participation, as well as the contributions from the Childhood Sociology, allow thinking about the way children act in society by understanding them as social actors, as subjects with rights and voice. The Brazilian experience we brought to the current study shows important paths about children's participation in public areas, mainly in urban areas. Projects about children and their life contexts give children the status of active and competent citizens, and show them as very attentive to the space around them.
