“…In these cases, the children often see the street life as easier than the life they are living at home. Of 1000 street children, the average age of ending up on the street in Ethiopia was 11 years old (Veale et al., 1993).…”

Public space is a possible site for grounding a social psychology of citizenship. Locational citizenship speaks to the right to have a place in public space. Certain groups are however often excluded. Drawing on individual interviews and focus group discussions with street children in Gambella Town, Ethiopia, this study explores how street children talk about their lives on the street. The results demonstrate the children's lack of inclusion in locational citizenship, and how public space becomes contested space when different groups use these places in ways that clash. The children also speak to processes of inclusion, both among groups of street children, and kindness from individual adults in their environment. These children's their stories of both exclusion and inclusion are crucial to the developing social psychology of citizenship. The study emphasizes exclusion and inclusion as processes, and the children's active handling of their street life. We also problematizes the division between private and public space when the former is often no longer an available space for these children.

“…One form of transdisciplinary research is based on the central idea that knowledge can be shared and co-produced, not just between researchers from different disciplines, but also with the direct involvement of the albeit non-scientific actors concerned (Bammer et al 2020;Christensen 2004;Jung 2015;Sime 2008;Van Buggenhout 2020). Transdisciplinary research aims to understand the world through the dialogue between the scientific and academic world and the world of social, political, and cultural reality: this reciprocal collaboration between researchers and social actors (children, adolescents, adults) feeds each step of the research process, adding value to the final results and conclusions, and therefore to its relevance to both science and society (Hirsch Hadorn et al 2008).…”

Based on a transdisciplinary perspective, this contribution aims to describe the methodological issues presenting themselves when walking is deployed as a tool to coproduce knowledge in a research project conducted with children. An analysis of two projects, one in Switzerland and the other in Spain, shows the relevance of working across a number of disciplines to study the movement of children and adolescents in their living environment. These research projects use a participatory methodological device, combining the interview and walking technique (mobile interview or accompanied itineraries) as a method of analysing and understanding the experiences of young social actors by prioritising their viewpoints. We also show how adopting a transdisciplinary approach to data coproduction enables the participants to inhabit the research through their physical presence and their words.

“…The approach used to gain the trust of children in street situations can use informal communication. In fact, children in street situations are not only able to survive on the streets but are also able to empower themselves and create economic opportunities for themselves and their families (Van Buggenhout, 2020).…”

Children in street situations are a social problem faced in various cities in Indonesia. Efforts to protect children in street situations facing multiple issues. One of them is related to fulfilling the identity rights of children in street situations. This study aims to identify how a communication approach can foster interpersonal trust in children on the streets. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative using a phenomenology approach. There are many problems affecting confidence in children in street situations. It started from a lack of security and health issues that were not touched upon to the communication approach's problem. Communication intensity is the primary key to gaining interpersonal trust from children in street situations. Children's communication patterns in unique street situations also need to be responded to with a more informal approach. The actors involved need to reconsider the type of empowerment shown to children in street situations.
