On Thursday, October 24th, 2024, Professor Marit Skivenes, Director of the Centre for Research on Discretion and Paternalism (DIPA), was a part of the seminar titled “Children’s Right to Be Heard in Decisions at the Societal Level” (Barns rett til å bli hørt i beslutninger på samfunnsnivå) in Oslo, Norway. The seminar was organised by the NGO Change Factory (Forandringsfabrikken), a key advocate for the rights of children and young people in Norway.
The event gathered researchers, youth, and policymakers to discuss the importance of ensuring that children’s voices are actively considered in decision-making processes at both the national and local levels. The discussions emphasized the pivotal role children play in shaping societal outcomes, highlighting their right to influence decisions that impact their lives.
