The article introduces a new model for enhancing children's participation in decision-making, aligning with Article 12.1 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. This model, based on five levels of participation, aims to provide a structured approach to planning and implementing children's involvement. The five levels are: 1) Children are listened to; 2) Children are supported in expressing their views; 3) Children's views are taken into account; 4) Children are involved in decision-making processes; 5) Children share power and responsibility for decision-making. At each level, three stages of commitment—openings, opportunities, and obligations—are identified to guide organizations and individuals in their efforts to enhance children's participation. The model is designed to be a practical tool for practitioners, offering a sequence of 15 questions to assess and improve the level of children's participation. The article emphasizes the importance of this model in aligning with the Convention's principles and fostering children's rights and well-being.The article introduces a new model for enhancing children's participation in decision-making, aligning with Article 12.1 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
