Abstract
Children have the right to express their views in all matters affecting them, and to have
them considered and given due weight. Children’s participation is most meaningful
when rooted in children’s everyday lives, and its promotion should be encouraged from
the youngest ages, especially in early childhood education and care (ecec). In this
paper we apply the Lundy model of participation, widely used in policy, practice and
professional development initiatives, to the ecec context. Based on examples provided
by ecec professionals from Belgium, Greece, Poland, and Portugal, we illustrate the
implementation of the elements of space, voice, audience and influence, proposed
by the Lundy model. We also discuss the interrelations among these elements and the
need for organisational and contextual support to enhance children’s participation.
This paper adds to existing literature, highlighting theoretical and practical issues
associated with the promotion of children’s right to participate in ecec.
