We hope this newsletter finds you well - ideally after you’ve spent some relaxing holidays. In any case, we at CO:RE are ready for you returning to schools, unis and offices in the coming weeks as we launch further additions and expansions of the CO:RE Knowledge Base. We’re starting this “launch season” off with our newest addition 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁  - the ✨CO:RE Methods Toolkit and Handbook✨! 

The toolkit and handbook were created by our CO:RE team at Tampere University. Explore now and share your feedback with us!

🤝 Educators all over Europe, we need you!

Another item in our “launch season pipeline” is our Education Toolkit. The CO:RE team at European Schoolnet co-developed the toolkit together with educators, young people and policy makers, to cater to the needs of people working in the European education sector. Now the team is preparing the launch of the toolkit later this year and seeks to link and point to as many helpful resources and materials as possible. And for that, we need crowd intelligence - your input! Please share your most-used resources and materials you found helpful in your work with kids’ and young people’s digital lives.

➡️👐 Add your inputs to the education toolkit here!

💭 New CO:RE Theories Blog: "How can theories be applied to policy and practice?”

✍️ Guest author: Kruakae Pothong 

“Talk of youth participation in public policymaking processes and their impacts on policies and practices affecting them brings a mixture of optimism and frustration. The optimism shines through emerging recipes for successful youth participation in public policymaking. The frustration results from the adult-child power asymmetries and adults' bias against children's voices, also known as "adultism", which in turn constrain children's and young people's impact on policies. Since policies are products of discursive processes, deliberative democracy presents a plausible approach to achieving meaningful youth participation in policymaking and the resulting practices.”  Read on!

The theories blog and vlog series are coordinated by Sonia Livingstone and Mariya Stoilova (CO:RE at LSE) and are part of the CO:RE Theories Toolkit.
