Alison Lloyd Williams recentlyÌýpresented a paperÌý‘The Flood Project: a Children’s Manifesto for Change’Ìýat theÌýconference held at Liverpool Hope University on 23-24 June 2016.

The event was attended by a diverse range of colleagues including academics and practitioners working with children and young people in a variety of settings. Alison said “there were some fascinating and thought-provoking presentations which explored key questions about children’s citizenship and agency, intergenerational perspectives and how children and young people take part in research”. Alison’s presentation was part ofÌýthe themed section ‘individual and collective agency and political participation’. Her paper focused onÌýthe creative methods that weÌýused with the children in the Ìýproject, both during the research workshops and to speak to stakeholders about the findings. Delegates responded positively to our project and there was a particular interest in the way that the children’s voices were impacting on policy and practice.
