The research, framed in critical perspectives and Latin American practices, made it possible for the children to understand the concept of child participation based on their experiences and meanings, recognizing the importance of their desires and opinions, and how these can affect the contexts. in what they develop. The results revolved around dialectical relationships, modes of child participation, power relations, emotional and social needs and an emerging category: the senses of participation. Finally, the research highlights the relevance of children's participation, the challenge to adult-centric models and the points of union between the de-ideologization proposed by Martín-Baró and decolonization.
