What Do the Children of Tanzania Imagine for Their Future? Rights to Be Listened to, Play, and Participate: The WeWorld Toolkit

Based on our longstanding experience in Education in Tanzania, this paper presents original quantitative and qualitative data on the conditions of 200 children and adolescents in elementary schools across Chake Chake and Mkoani (Pemba), Ludewa (Njombe), and Temeke and Kinondoni (Dar es Salaam). Provides a detailed description and critical evaluation of the implementation of a methodology centred on play and peer dialogue. It also developed policy recommendations and identify areas for targeted intervention, informed by the needs and priorities expressed by children and adolescents. These recommendations are framed within the concept of the right to the future, emphasising the importance to giving agency to children and youth, and advocating for a paradigm sharing power among adults, younger and future generations.
