AB  - Young children’s participation is key to developing a culture of human rights, democracy, and rule of law and
according to Council of Europe (2017) and United Nations (2005). In these terms, children’s right to participate
is described as a key aspect in the framework of educational quality, and the positive relationship between
children’s right to participate and early childhood care and education (ECCE) quality is already documented.
Although this concept is not new to ECCE professionals, its application seems to remain a challenge within
everyday activities. It is thus important for ECCE professionals to reflect on this right and on the practices
towards its promotion, in order to be able to supply high quality education. The paper presents the innovatory
attempts regarding the digital tools developed within the PARTICIPA Erasmus+ project (Professional
development tools supporting participation rights in early childhood education) aiming to involve three target group -directors, teachers and teachers’ assistants- working in all types of early childhood care and education
settings, so that have a digital space to reflect about children’s right to participate and its implementation.
More specifically, the paper presents (a) a training program targeting the ECCE settings’ professionals provided
through a massive open online course (MOOC) in 5 languages and disseminated in an online learning platform,
focusing on the theoretical and practical aspects of children’s right to participate (i.e., state of the art, relevant
pedagogical practices), (b) toolkits (i.e., validated self-assessment questionnaires) for ECCE directors and
teachers and teacher assistants supported by discrete qualitative studies.
