Partycypacja dzieci a rozwój zaangażowania obywatelskiego

Abstract

The paper presents some issues of the discourse on participation of children and young people in the context of its implementation in local communities. The intention of the Author is to show the range and possibilities of local participation of children and youth but also to describe what are the forms of its misuse and false realisation. The Author also aims to indicate what is the meaning of children’s participation for the development of civil societies but also local and state civic engagement. The paper is only a foretaste of existing wide contemporary discourse on children’s participation and its implementation in social life.
