Background: <\/strong>How children\u2019s rights are constructed and understood can be different in different contexts. Therefore, it is important to investigate what children\u2019s rights<\/em> means in the Indonesian context, where how children view their rights is still under-researched.<\/p>\n\n

Aim: <\/strong>\u00a0To explore how Indonesian children are conceptualising and voicing their rights from the children\u2019s perspectives.<\/p>\n\n

Method:<\/strong> The study involved seven Indonesian children, aged 3.5 to 8 years, who presented in a children-led conference. Using a qualitative methodology, data of video recordings, photos and children\u2019s works were generated during the conference with the children\u2019s consent. A thematic analysis of the children\u2019s narratives was undertaken to address two research questions: How do children view their rights? What are children\u2019s self-capacities discovered within their voices?<\/p>\n\n

Results:<\/strong> Children mentioned the rights to survival, protection, relaxation-time, play, growth and development, and participation in cultural and creative activities. Although they mentioned similar types of children\u2019s rights, each participant shared different stories about how their rights were met, both in the family and school settings. Children\u2019s narratives highlighted key self-capacities evident during the whole process of the conference project. This study identified self-capacities including self-determination, self-agency, and critical thinking.<\/p>\n\n

Implications for children and families:<\/strong> Parents, you can facilitate your child to develop their self-capacities by listening to their voices, taking children\u2019s perspectives seriously, and applying them in daily life activities.<\/p>\n\n

Implications for practitioners:<\/strong> You can provide a space for children to voice their rights and contribute toward their own self-capacity development. Student-led activities, such as conferences, can be a strategy to foster children\u2019s voice and a space for them to learn about civic citizenship.<\/p>\n\n
