Descrizione del progetto

Powerful but neglected tools in promoting children’s rights are direct complaints and reporting, meaning communicative acts raising the attention of public authorities to any violation of rights suffered by the reporters or by peers.

To address the lack of reporting by children and to enhance their participation, the Children Digi-CORE project will design, test and promote a mobile app, allowing children to report violations to local ombudspersons using an innovative and childfriendly digital tool.
Building on a survey, field visits and children’s focus groups, the Digi-CORE app will be designed with a participatory approach. It will be tested in Piedmont (Italy) and assessed by potential users.

The development of Standardised CORE interdisciplinary procedures for managing children’s digital complaints will constitute the basis for the interdisciplinary training
of professionals using tools to facilitate peer-learning and knowledge-transfer with colleagues.
Policy recommendations for national and international stakeholders will enable the uptake of the results at EU level. Building on the extensive networks of partners and supporting authorities, the project results will be broadly disseminated, ensuring that Digi-CORE methodology can be incorporated into the systems of different EU countries.
Children Digi-CORE will enable children to make their voice heard developing inclusive child
participation at local level.
