- Title
Exploring the spatiality of participation: Teenagers' experiences in an English secondary school.
- Authors

- Abstract
Schools constitute one of the most significant spaces in which children and teenagers learn about and experience participation in decision-making. Drawing on a threeyear study this paper explores young teenagers' understandings and experiences of participation particularly in light of policy measures such as the introduction of statutory citizenship education in English secondary schools in 2002. In order to explore teenagers' opportunities for participation within different aspects of school life the paper places specific emphasis on the spatiality of participation examining informal, everyday engagements alongside the efficacy of more formal structures.
