About Us
The Network for Innovation and Research with Children and Young People (NIRC) brings together international scholarship in innovative research that involves children and young people as co-researchers and co-constructors of knowledge. It aims to explore the diversity of global childhoods by presenting perspectives and experiences of children themselves. NIRC particularly wants to promote the visibility of children's perspectives and experiences from underrepresented contexts, such as those from the Global South and from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Upcoming Events & Opportunities
NIRC regularly organizes online and offline events (e.g. research seminars, public workshops, masterclasses) to showcase recent projects by global scholars, facilitate knowledge exchange in the field, promote public awareness of children's perspectives, and train researchers in doing research with children and young people. If you want to present about your research and/or host a NIRC event, please get in touch with us via contactnircy@gmail.com.
