In the eighth episode of the Daphne-CHILD Grantee Spotlight Series, Charlotte Donnellan from ISPCC discusses their project Little Voices, Big Ideas - an initiative addressing peer-to-peer violence through genuine co-creation with children aged 8-12 across County Galway.
 
Working with children from diverse communities, including island residents, Irish Travellers, and children in international protection accommodation, the project has developed a four-module educational program entirely shaped by children's insights and preferences. Through innovative child-centred methodologies using play, creative mediums, and regulation activities, the modules tackle self-esteem, confidence, empathy, and digital safety while staying true to how children actually want to learn: in small groups, with hands-on activities, and absolutely no PowerPoint presentations.
 

This podcast is part of a series aiming to showcase the vital and innovative work of our grantees in the Daphne-CHILD programme as they combat violence against children across Europe.
