They discussed the implications and implementation of children's rights to guide educational policy, research and practice. The Conference focused particular attention on the implications of article 29 (aims of education) of the CRC with special regard to article 12 (children's meaningful participation) and article 28 (provision of education). One of the significant outcomes of the conference was the launching of the 'Children As Partners' initiative. This initiative builds on the conference themes in focussing on key issues affecting children and youth's meaningful participation and will result in an international research agenda and various future workshops and meetings.
