Popis:	The study draws from learning experiences in Latin America with emphasis on the concept protagonismo infantil (child protagonism). Child protagonism results in new understandings of childhood experiences in mission and development work today. The research focuses on the role children play in society and it looks to children as social actors who are participants in looking for solutions to problems affecting local communities. Children are often perceived as passive recipients in need of care. Without disregarding the need to protect and care for children, the study argues that children, as protagonists, seek to bring innovative solutions to community needs.
