PEDAL’s Sally Hogg, Beth Barker, Kelsey Graber, Stephen Bayley and BRAC’s Kuri Chisim present: Using young children’s perspectives in research and practice.
In this workshop, PEDAL staff present research which uses playful methods to elicit the perspectives of young children to better understand their experiences of school and hospital. We share learning from a project with Home-Start in London to embed babies’ and young children’s perspectives into their work.
In the second half of the workshop, Kuri discusses a research study titled ‘My Play Life: A Qualitative Study of Children’s Play in Bangladesh’ jointly undertaken by the BRAC Institute of Educational Development (BRAC IED) and PEDAL. The presentation focuses on the explorative research journey taken to discover children’s perceptions and experiences of children of play in diverse settings of Bangladesh, including climate-vulnerable communities and Rohingya Refugee Camp. The insights gained from this research are transforming BRAC IED’s practices, leading to more child-centred and child-led interventions.
Kuri is a Senior Program Specialist at BRAC Institute of Educational Development (IED). Her main focus is to design programs that promote play and healing among children, adolescents and their caregivers in a humanitarian context. Currently, Kuri is leading interventions for 0-3 year old Rohingya children and their parents.
